CryptoTab Browser is a unique web browser that integrates Bitcoin mining into the process of browsing the internet, allowing users to do their browsing while mining Bitcoin during the process. It was launched in 2018, primarily for crypto users. It is a Chromium-based browser, so it gives much of the familiar, easy-to-use look of Google Chrome. It supports both extensions and themes along with other features.
The best and most unique feature of the CryptoTab Browser is its quiet, background Bitcoin mining. It consumes idle system resources without a significant impact on performance. While it is not as effective as specialized mining rigs but can be an excellent introduction for cryptocurrency newcomers. There is an option Cloud.Boost that can increase mining speed, but it comes with a cost.
CryptoTab offers cross-device syncing such that the user can monitor his earnings easily on desktops, smartphones and tablets.
This alternative might be appealing, but at its downsides, CryptoTab has many shortcomings such as withdrawal issues, slower service from support, and energy consumption. It is actually a popular solution for a person who wants to understand Bitcoin mining without investing a lot in hardware.
