How to find if there is a crypto mining going on your Browser?

Is there any tool to detect and remove it easily. ? I did check with my chrome task manager and regular task manager? nothing suspicious? other than that what do we need to check, to know exactly if something running behind in your browser

May be you can check "Network" in your chrome (press F12)

Maybe this addon will let you know when one runs (and blocks it) https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/minerblock/emikbbbebcdfohonlaifafnoanocnebl?hl=en

If you are using chrome press SHIFT + ESC
There you will see a list of tabs with information about CPU usage, Memory and bandwidth monitoring. If you suspect of a certain page, you can check that particular tab to see if there is an abnormal activity (for example a high CPU load that doesn't drop after a few seconds). All web crypto miners are based on CPU mining.
