So many coin/crypto blockers... What seems to be good/best? And why? Open source?

I wonder does uMatrix block coin/crypto...?

You can add a subscription to uBlock Origin to block those. It is easiest to do from this page:
https://adblockplus.org/en/subscriptions
Look under Miscellaneous

There's tons of different coin blockers.. Best to use established party's. Like uBlock Origin.

uMatrix on the other hand blocks them native without adding any

minerBlock seems polished and professional. And it uses dual blocking method, one for traditional domain blacklisting and another one that is sort of behavior based, if it detects misbehaving scripts that look like cryptominer, it blocks it. Not sure how true that is, but it's promising that.

I noticed the other day that 51 (Developer) is including a cryptoblocker by default, not sure when the added it. Just saying - check, you might already have one.
