Someone on social media introduced me to CryptoTab Browser, that I will be using the browser to mine and earn Bitcoin. With the little knowledge I gathered from this forum, I was able to tell him that bitcoin requires complexity of computing system with high energy consumption in order to be mined. Which a smart phone cannot do. He insisted that he and his friends have been mining and earning BTC in the app. He went further to show me his BTC balance he earned.
Please, can someone tell me what's actually going on in the browser, as I strongly believe it's not Bitcoin mining that is happening there.
Some people may want to market you CryptoTab browser because it has a referral earning, if you mine and you used your friend's referral link, it has certain amount your friend will be earning as you are mining with the browser. The broswer uses referral method to make people that refer the most to earn the most, but the actual mining power of your phone can not make CryptoTab profitable normally, even on computer. There is other one called the pro version which people will pay certain amount of money to download it, I have not used it before because it can only be a scam if you do not have hundreds or more of people you refer
