(NoScript 10.1.6.2; Firefox 57.0.1; Fedora 26)
Recently, I've read of something called "coin mining". If I understand it correctly, a web site executes code on a computer and gets paid crypto-currency for it, all without the user's permission and usually without the user's knowledge. Mozilla's add-on site does offer a few add-ons to block coin mining.
1. Is what NoScript does sufficient to block almost all coin mining? That is, If I'm using NoScript, am I correct in assuming that I don't need another add-on to block coin mining?
2. If I do need a separate, additional add-on to block coin mining, which do you recommend?
Thank-you in advance.
Bill.

But if you want to be extra sure, use uBlock Origin with some anti coin mining list added.

*Always* check the changelogs BEFORE updating that important software!

Could you (ar anyone) recommend good "anti coin mining" lists?
