Opera Mobile Browsers gets Updated With Bitcoin Mining Protection

Popular web browser—Opera has added cryptocurrency mining protection to its mobile browsers, coming just three weeks after the same feature was introduced to its desktop browsers. Thanks to this new update, users of both the Android and iOS versions of Opera and OperaMini now have full protection from bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies mining.

According to Opera:
The new anti-cryptocurrency mining feature is activated by default when enabling the ad blocker on Opera Mini and Opera for Android. The ad blocker can be enabled in 'Settings,' and it will automatically detect and stop the mining scripts written into the coding of a webpage.

This is an amazing addition because cryptocurrency miners scripts embedded in websites is increasingly causing huge problems to smartphones. It works up your handset's processor up to 100 percent, making the phone overheat and draining your battery much faster.

Another good news is the new portal created by Opera to check if your smartphone is exposed and affected by unwanted crypto mining. Simply visit
www.cryptojackingtest.com on your mobile or desktop browser to do so.
