I've worked in ad-tech. I don't want any of those fuckers running JavaScript on my machine. Part of the reason I hate SPAs is that they're a trojan horse for third-party JavaScript that forces enabling JS for that domain.
"and before anyone says, 'but I only enable JS for that content provider's domain'", remember: >I've worked in ad-tech. how hard do you think it is to run JS-driven ads through the content provider's domain? Nobody's auditing the code either.
Native advertising isn't solely about having ads present on the platform in a less jarring way. It's also about having a deeper integration for injecting JS.
Some native advertising platforms have separate JavaScript tags that you can block but that won't last. They'll start having the platform devs weaving it into the JS payloads required to make the site work.
Now you're in an arms race where you're trying to burn tires in front of APCs to prevent their JS working except as of several years ago we already had anti-blocking defenses that could detect when a global variable was getting fucked with and would generate random variable names
It's analogous to what @BrendanEich is doing with @Brave but his approach is still browser-centric and still runs JS so it never is fully secure nor will it ever try to make the web less monolithic.
