It wouldn't be so bad if Salon were using 5 or 10% of your CPU, but they are pushing it to 100%. Check out the discussion on r/BATProject[0] which is apart of the Brave browser. Brave is actually fighting the mining situation whilst also trying to help publishers and creators gain money. Brave are actively blocking ads and background miners, but they offer verified publishers and creators to be donated Basic Attention Tokens (their own cryptocurrency). Users of Brave will be able to gain tokens either by purchasing them or by viewing ads within the browser rather than on the websites. If you're interested, I would recommend you check out their browser which is based on Chromium.[1] [0] https://www.reddit.com/r/BATProject/comments/7y7tvy/bat_community_weekly_update_02092018_to_02162018/ https://www.reddit.com/r/BATProject/comments/7y7tvy/bat_comm...
