But that is not the right question to answer. The right question is is the cost of mining crypto currencies in a browser more or less than the cost of dealing with advertising?
Mining from a random browser will almost certainly never be cost effective for the user, you're better off buying or renting dedicated hardware, mine on it and use the reward to pay for microtransactions.
