Ads have gotten to a point where they hamper user experience. My problem with most of the ads is the amount of js tracking junk and 3rd party A/B calls that grinds the browser to a halt.

I rarely use FB. However their Ads are lightweight and pleasant to interact with but I don’t think they have an ad serving platform for publishers on the web like Google and others do. If they do I am not aware of it.
