Can malicious ad js be fixed (from publisher perspective) by fetching & interpreting it with an interpreter written in js rather than directly executing it in the browser?
And if you detected anything nasty, you just abort loading the ad and switch to trying load from a different ad network.

Force the networks to compete on not getting aborted for bad js behavior.

Are you proposing always running the ad JS through the interpreter (as opposed to trying to check for bad behavior ahead of time)? I think this is possible in theory, but there's no real incentive for a site to do this.

Sure there is. See:https://twitter.com/anildash/status/950097073478819841 …

And yes, always through the interpreter. Abort & try a different ad as soon as it breaks the rules.
