I know that they have this new mechanism in Chrome 64. That is actually mentioned in the article I linked to.

But I would prefer if the did not deliver Javascript inside ads in the first place.

So you when you said you'd "wish Google would do something" you already knew that, in fact, they have already done something?

And presumably the use of this lie was to provide an example to support your argument that ads should not contain Javascript at all?

Google runs an ad network and releases a browser. Presumably he is aware that Chrome is doing something, but wishes that AdSense and DoubleClick would do something.
