Add web protection against browser-based cryptocurrency mining to Brave Sheilds

See original GitHub issue

There are a lot of sites that are starting to use libraries like coin hive to mine cryptocurrency on the browser of their visitors. For protecting the users, you should do the following

  • As you have done with extensions like HTTPS Everywhere, you should add MinerBlock to Brave Shields
  • When activating the cryptocurrency mining protection on Brave Shields, add these rules to NoScript for ensuring you are protected.
    • Block: http://coin-hive.com
    • Block: http://blablace.com

The domain is dead, from https://hardwaresfera.com/en/noticias/semana-la-ultima-web-descubierta-mina-criptomonedas/

What we have covers more than 90% of coin miners.

No match for domain "BLABLACE.COM".
