Following the Chrome Store’s mining extensions ban earlier this year, Google Inc has also updated its policy and all outlawed apps which are used to mine cryptocurrencies will be prohibited henceforth. However, there is an exception – apps which are used in the remote management of cryptocurrency mining will be allowed. Google is not the only engine to ban crypto mining apps, as last month, iPhone maker Apple forbid apps that mine cryptocurrencies on the device though it allowed those that conducted such activities of the tablet or smartphone.
