As of yesterday, no new cryptomining extensions are being accepted, and existing extensions will be deleted by late July!
Chrome extensions that allow Crypto mining will no longer be allowed thanks to this latest ban.
According to Chrome, " approximately 90% of all extensions with mining scripts that developers have attempted to upload to Chrome Web Store have failed to comply with these policies, and have been either rejected or removed from the store." - 90% no wonder why they have decided to get rid of all of them!!
