Partial content blocking
Sometimes dangerous elements from infected resources (banners, scripts, or sidebars) or mining scripts can show up on otherwise safe sites. Yandex Browser for Mobile blocks such elements. It receives information about dangerous resources from a database updated by Yandex and our partners.
Blocking mining scripts
Mining is used for issuing cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin. The computer makes calculations and its owner is awarded a certain amount of cryptocurrency.
In the case of hidden mining, the miners use the resources of other people's computers and mobile devices to make the calculations. In this case, the mining code is discreetly placed in JavaScript on website pages. It actively utilizes RAM, drains the battery and heats up the tablet components.
To prevent miners from using your tablet resources to earn money, Yandex Browser for Mobile blocks the downloading of mining scripts from websites. Scripts can be blocked even if they're yet unknown to the browser. Yandex Browser analyzes the CPU load generated by the sites and uses this data to block previously unknown mining scripts.
Note
The browser also blocks other hidden mining options, such as those that use extensions.
To disable mining blocking, disable ad filtering.
