I run my own DNS based ad blockers, and use modded apps for platforms that enforce ads through their own domain, precisely because of this.

What I find insane is that websites STILL try to use ad networks that have been proven time after time to be malicious actors and/or intentionally enabling malicious actors. We should really go back to the good old times of the internet where advertisers went to websites directly and had no middlemen holding their palms - also no JS, no scripting, no other BS, you get a fixed size banner where you can have an image and a URL redirect. With GIFV being a thing, you can render a full HD animated advert into a "GIF" that 99% of browsers will still play, but pose no danger to the end user.

Or fuck it, I might even start such a business. Better rates, user friendly ads, no fucking Zioni spyware crap.
