Wait until WebAssembly hits the scene in a big way.

Browser support is already in-place, now it's on to adoption.

When you have binaries running in the browser it's going to be a lot harder to block advertisements.

from what I understand, webasm is not practically any different than minified JS in terms of readability. That ship has long ago sailed.

WebGL is the real risk I think. You can't filter a canvas with the same ease(if at all} you can filter DOM model elements.

You don't need WebGL, blitting pixels to a <canvas> does the trick just fine

Javascript has eval(), it's a much better target for obfuscated code than the trivially disassembled wasm format.
