We can block URLs running cryptocurrency mining scripts. This is now blocked.

You can add the following filter list for your adblocker(Ublock) to protect against miners:
https://github.com/hoshsadiq/adblock-nocoin-list/raw/master/nocoin.txt
https://github.com/greatis/Anti-WebMiner/blob/master/blacklist.txt
and enable - uBlock Origin -- Resource-abuse filter
