JavaScript in the browser have no "sandbox" to evade. It does not have the ability to run outside of it's virtual machine, at all. It's completely different from a native executable, that actually have the ability to make system calls, that would evade a container/chroot/whatever.

Also, running a crypto miner in a browser tab (or even as a service worker) is probably more costly to put in place than it will ever bring back. It's just not efficient enough.
