    Do you mean will the miner itself work in incognito, or the miner block? Miners will work no matter the page, and you just have to enable the extension you want in incognito and it'll always work. Otherwise, Do as David said and check the source code of the page if you're at all unsure : )

    Ok so I barely understand bitcoin as it is, but why is it "dangerous" if your proxy has a miner and mines bitcoin? Don't get that. Is it just that TNT notices, or is there something bad about "mining"? And does that just happen when you visit places using the proxy?

    It uses your GPU, maybe your CPU and it makes you spend electricity on it. Just so someone else might win money.

    Ah gotcha thanks. I read more in another thread and basically figured it was the slowing down/using electricity. Crazy.

    They should generally be fine, companies that sell this stuff have a reputation to lose and they're already making money off you.
