I think most people would even prefer that to ads, I'd much rather have you utilize 30% of my CPU for a while than make me watch an ad.

On mobile that is bit more difficult. But even there: I'd rather have my battery drained by a clear, transparant miner than through spying and data-mining ads.

Though, in reality, I'd rather not have my battery drained at all; so I'd disable this when not plugged in. Or for desktop only.
