Please see additional edit/updates at bottom + PSA Note on NoCoin Browser Extension not fully working
Ublock Origin desktop browser users (scroll down for Mobile Firefox Browser android-ublock origin setup points) no separate browser extension is needed - you can add the following into your ublock origin:
hoshsadiq/adblock-nocoin-list [GitHub - nocoin filter block list for ublock origin]
To install for desktop (also works for FireFox Mobile Browser Android-Ublock Origin addon):
First, save other active web work/close other browser tabs.
It's also worth backing up-exporting any of your original ublock-browser/firefox android mobile ublock origin settings prior to adjusting or adding anything with ublock origin. - Ublock origin can export each major tab setting into a respective text file to restore if something unexpected happens + to save time on searching for these filters again if you move to a new machine-device/uninstall/etc.
For faulty filters or in such scenarios, you can also delete them individually by clicking on the trashcan icon next to that filter line.
Click on gear settings button within the ublock origin icon found on your browser > 3rd-party filters tab > add the text link found at the bottom of the GitHub page (or the txt link within the coded section posted above) into the bottom empty field section > click on "Apply Changes" button located on upper right of same 3rd party filters tab > exit & restart browser
New filters should be automatically applied for ublock origin but I found that to make sure, a quick exit/restart of browser helps just in case.
If you go back to the 3rd party filters section of ublock origin, it should show "NoCoin" at the bottom; under the "Custom" section.
From an ancillary observation, Firefox users running NoScript also have a much higher protection level along with users who may have an active Malwarebytes Real-Time Premium license/subscription (real-time, premium has been updated to block a bunch of these more malicious sites implementing cyrpto-miners).
Back to ublock origin briefly, some of those crypto-mining browser injections may be likely to be included within some more of the default 3rd-party filter sections but the nocoin-github link above to add into ublock origin, can be used for temporary peace of mind until we learn of possibly other effective/efficient methods.
If you'd like to check some more interesting perspectives on the topic, check out the official ublock origin github issues comment section #690 (now closed):
(previous comment reflection of mine on the topic):
bottom line up for debate:
Whether the site/author explicitly informs the end-user of these implementations and that the end-user understands this + the option of opting-out being fantastic.
The more troubling and likely practice is that many of these kinds of sites won't care to share and surreptitiously do it without the end-users' awareness.
This is already happening across a lot of non-piracy related gaming-twitch tv streamer sites too.
Several piracy & related NSFW streaming sites have already been implementing the crypto-browser miner given the recent mainstream media attention.
Consider all of those sites at risk.
I am certain that a lot of these sites will probably keep ads running on top of that as well... it's up to us in practicing preventative protective measures.
If there are any corrections/updates to my current comment, please let me know. Thanks.
Edit/Update: Adding PSA Note + Still having trouble installing the ublock origin nocoin filter? + Firefox Mobile Browser NoCoin-Ublock Origin + technical references to other platforms supporting Ublock Origin
Trouble installing? :
Please refer to comment from /u/ThatSiming for clarifications/variations to how your ublock origin might be displayed on your respective desktop-operating system browser:
Ublock Origin can be installed + NoCoin as above with the direct filter line added! This is great for those browsing on FF-youtube to block their ads as well.
Installed via FF mobile browser settings > addon installation > search for ublock origin > follow same instructions above
Unless mistaken, to my knowledge there's no current direct Chrome browser android mobile support for ublock or for iOS - someone will have to come by to comment for better suggestions...

Important PSA Note, there were some mentions of the NoCoin Browser extension throughout these comments:
Read this alternative section point carefully: If you don't want to deal with ublock origin for whichever reason, you can consider following the desktop NoCoin browser extension (different developer from the one I linked) option commented by /u/xenyz below (you don't need both to avoid conflicts/redundancies), however, please do check the developer's [keraf] ongoing GitHub issues page since there are some active problems with it:
Doesn't consistently stop miner processes from starting #30 [OPEN, ONGOING GitHub Issue for NoCoin Browser Extension]
For torrent-piracy related developments, new article published today on the topic from torrentfreak outlining some what's going on from that front with popular sites users visit (includes brief point of this Showtime drama too):
Cryptocurrency Miner Targeted by Anti-Virus and Adblock Tools:
users who may have an active Malwarebytes Real-Time Premium license/subscription (real-time, premium has been updated to block a bunch of these more malicious sites implementing cyrpto-miners).
Does anyone know of a working keygen (not a crack) for Malwarebytes Premium 3? I used to have a functioning version that I originally installed when it was still v2 and then updated to v3, and one day I had to uninstall and reinstall because of some problems. License was supposed to stay saved or something, but it didn't, and the old keygens for v2 don't work.
I don't trust cracks because they could include malware themselves, while I can run a keygen on a VM.

If you don't have uBlock Origin installed, you deserve everything you get.

That's what I said, I wouldn't trust a cracked antivirus, so I'm looking for a keygen that I could run separately on a VM.
