Adblock Plus has a cryptominer list. Yes, it does work in ublock origin.
Problem solved? I think so.

Site owners have incentive to run this proxy so they're not marked as a mining site OR to circumvent the X% fee that coinhive/other cryptocurrency pools collect.
So the adblock/ublock origin fixes will only work until site owners decide to start proxying. IMO search providers should penalize sites with poor performance (as they already do) and site owners are penalized if they suck the consumers CPU.
edit: Fixed last sentence
I'd also suspect that it'll just lead to different ways of detecting miners (e.g. fingerprinting the behaviour of mining algorithms, or just blocking scripts that use more than a set CPU budget by default).
Not sure if browsers can fingerprint script execution patterns, that's way further down than I go.
Script blocking will probably work most of the time, just as blocking certain urls gets rid of most ads.
