Opera 50 will integrate native protection with cryptocurrency mining

The year that we are about to end has been one of the most prolific for cryptocurrencies, led by Bitcoin, the oldest cryptocurrency that has come to have a value in recent weeks more than 17.000 euros, a value that has been deflating in recent days.

The increase that bitcoin has had throughout the year has forced many friends from outside to invent new options to take advantage of the use of third-party CPUs in mining, in order to expand the number of options for find more bitcoins without having to invest in hardware.

One of the most common uses was to place a script on a web page, which was automatically downloaded to the computer and began to use the visitor's CPU to mine bitcoins. As this type of abuse was detected, the Chrome and Firefox extension stores were filled with applications to prevent it, but today no browser avoids it natively.

Opera, in its 50th version, will be the first to do so, integrating a protection system with cryptocurrency mining in general, not only for bitcoin, but also for Ether, Litecoins ... If you are a early adopting, and you want to start testing this new version, which is currently in beta, you just have to go through the Developers section Opera website to download it and start testing it.

This new option, which despite being installed natively in the browser, we can deactivate it and it's called NoCoin, an option that is disabled by default, but you never know what the needs of users may be in this regard and in the event of possible future problems, Opera does not want to close any type of door in this regard.
