This ZIP file contains the results of the 2018 browser mining feasibility study, which aimed to investigate if browser mining could be a legitimate method of monetisation, when compared to online display advertisement. The results of the experiment were aggregated in a custom analytics server running on Elasticsearch. Full instructions on how to import the data into a new Elasticsearch instance can be found in the repository's README file. The repository also contains source code of the experimental website used in the study.
