NYT: subscribe please NYT: SUBSCRIBE, please NYT: SRSLY YOU NEED TO SUBSCRIBE. NYT: no wait don't open an incognito win- Salon: oh cool adblocker Salon: we're just gonna mine some crypto real quick brahpic.twitter.com/mnWg9wqJ99
I'm going off Salon's notification above, which implies they're just using Coinhive -- which runs js client-side to mine Monero. There's still a sketch factor, since Coinhive doesn't prohibit partners from running the miner w/o informed consent (they "strongly advise against it")
Salon is obviously informing their users, but the platform providing the code is a little more ethically dubious and that should probably be of some concern to everyone quietly running their js in-browser
I think I'd want a browser plugin that checks the active page to see if it has an account, and if so, mines on it's behalf (only when my device is connected to power) browser plugin means I don't have to trust random site's random JS. If we integrate, they do not inject ads.
