Aren't there already ways to block crypto miners? Epic privacy browser by default blocks all kinds of stuff, and tells you what it's blocked. I can't think of a time when it didn't display a site properly.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Brave blocks them, as well as ads and trackers, but it also breaks a lot of websites. You'd need to be able to block the download of such files before they ever touch your computer. I ain't sure if that's possible, maybe it is. I know you can just block all .exe files and it would be fine, but other stuff ain't so cut n dry.
