 Heh, I freak out about sites I visit that make my computer rev up and
turn on the cooler: sites polluted with ads, sites that use your CPU
to mine bitcoin and who knows what else.
 

People say this, but I haven't seen hardly any ads since installing Ublock origin.
I have a CPU and bandwidth monitor in my task bar and if it starts looking odd, I exit the site...
