Excellent observation. It's also the reason why creating more technical tools is of limited use. This is where regulation is of value—not just by governments, but (perhaps especially) by browser vendors, who need to step in to clean things up.https://twitter.com/cfiesler/status/930814108009730049 …

Can you propose an action a browser vendor could take to address this? It doesn't seem like the platform can easily restrict a developer from executing scripts they explicitly wish to run on their site.

Great question. We recognize that this is hard and has not traditionally been seen as in scope for browser security. We've been working on ideas and have a bunch of heuristics. Aiming to better flesh it out and do some prototyping/testing. Will share when ready!

Good! In the meantime, your approach of surfacing the problem and shaming / forcing misbehaving third parties to fix the problem on their side seems like a great way to go.
