Everyone knows that anything high performance kills battery, or they will the effect right after they enable it and choose accordingly next time. If they're on laptops or mobile and a simple news page asks them that to mine crypto (assuming that it's not going to be usual at least for a few next years), it's fishy and they're not going to allow it.

> Everyone knows that anything high performance kills battery Not everyone is on a battery-powered device, and also, it's often true that "high performance" means "it completes faster and therefore spends less energy." Certainly if saying no often triggers a polyfill in actual web apps, people will quickly learn that high performance means less battery. Agree about news pages but I wish we'd prevent them from using any serious amount of CPU, whether in wasm or JS.
