I wanted to use this to block webworkers since a bug in the latest version of Chrome 88.0 make youtube/gmail/...use 100% CPU with those background tasks :( In the options, I selected "Do not allow any site to use WebWorkers" but webworkers are still being run. I don't see where I can manage them? If this only prevent new webworkers, it won't help my use case. Maybe I am missing something?

This extension is the ultimate bot blocker. Blocks all worker bots, not just miners. None of the other so called "mining blocker" extensions worked. I just set it to block all workers, turn it off as required (which for me is never). Essential for your mobile device. No more battery draining bots!
