Coin mining in the browser is sometimes abused and can lead to greater CPU usage, especially bad on mobile.

I'm in favour of it.

Testing notes:

1. Close Brave
2. Use new test data file uploaded to the PR.
3. Open Brave
4. Visit https://cnhv.co/6or
5. Turn off shieods

Step 4 should not load the page, but if you turn shields down it will.
