Any evidence? Just want to clarify so I can avoid them in future

I saw it in r/piracy, probably on their front page. Title is super obvious, it isn't hiding

just go to psa's homepage, then ctrl+u and ctrl+f then type "mine" it will send you to the mining script that they use :D

I wonder if adblock list creators for extensions like uBlock Origin actively add these miners to their lists?

[-] bert0ld0 | 1 points | Dec 06 2017 06:24:03

Apparently not!

If they want to use a crypto miner then just say it. I'd actually make an exception in uBlock for it. It'd definitely beat the ad cancer that comes with their website at the moment.

Their bottom-of-the-barrel "quality" won't be missed!
