It&#x27;s no more hijacking CPU than the new normal &#x27;web app&#x27;-style of webdesign that can&#x27;t even render text without JS.<p>This seems like an excellent way to monetize popular websites in a minimal impact way. And best of all since it&#x27;s mining Monero all the transactions will be private.
