Thanks for finally notice and inform us, but is it really 100% solved? I don't see the big drop down main extension update message, but the small red dot in the sidebar is still there. Does not help try use the update option in the developer mode in extensions. Restart the browser or also try manually update the browser does not help.

@leocg

No external site/link or url related. Please see screenshot.

This message also does not, only popup in SpeedDial. It's constant all over if one have it. And considering the reports that started to flow in, this is more then likely an issue for many, but also apparently not with everyone.

Test add as start page : opera://extensions/ Restart Opera and hit the update button. Restart Opera again and the drop down message should be gone. The small red dot in the sidebar is still there, but since the sidebar can also be hidden, it's less annoying.

@max1c:

Nope, not a general issue. Video pop-out works flawless on my machine/system.

Is the new Cookie blocking Live and working?

@leocg

I agree but whats the point if nobody else seams interesting to help me confirm it actually blocks or not.

I have a software that actually blocks things like this anyway and is not browser dependent so I'll guess I just stick with that.

Thanks for all the replies @leocg

@leocg

Maybe more then one report will make the Opera Team try and help finally kill the mining because it make not sense to report it to the list authors as anyone can super easy add the page into the custom filter as I mentioned previously and see what happens and I saw that it didn't help.

@hadesbcn said in NoCoin Issue?:

Nano adblocker or ublock origin + https://filterlists.com/. Suscribe: CoinBlocker Domains List, CoinBlocker Domains List Browser, CoinBlocker Domains List Optional, CoinBlocker Hosts List, CoinBlocker Hosts List Browser,CoinBlocker Hosts List Optional, CoinBlocker IPs List, NoCoin Hosts.

Thanks but no thanks. I already tested the NoCoin list and it dosen't seam to work on the specific supplied url in the first post.

I still hope anyone can help me out and include a screenshot as requested and with that simply verify if I'm right or wrong.

@leocg

Big thanks. I wonder why the Opera team did not suggest such a obvious test or maybe I was talking with the wrong person there lol

Here's my result :

I tested what you suggested in Firefox and added the NoCoin list to Adblock Plus and the CPU still goes up. I even manual added the url, also one extra line with a wildcard " * " but dosen't help. I then did the exact same in Opera by adding Adblock Plus and even manual added the url without success.

@leocg

Thanks for the question but could you pleasy clearify as I don't fully understand what you mean?

I suspect that the NoCoin feature does Not work as intended.

After been in contact with the Opera Team and didn't got the help/answers needed I'll try a last time here as I also want to see if others notice the exact same as me.

Enable the NoCoin feature in settings if havent already and start Operas built-in task manager : Shift+Esc. Monitor the CPU and go to the VPN service provider Windscribes cryptocurrency mining page. It's used to revenue for users extra storage but the link I'll supply is not connected to any users.

Warning! This link will more then likely make your CPU spike so remember to Close the page after tested.

If your CPU now goes above 50%, please supply a screenshot where this site and your task manger is viewble. Thanks!
