This is exactly why we're building EthicalAds. It's an ad network that only targets based on the content of sites, doesn't allow any third-party JS or images, and is currently only focused on a developer audience: https://www.ethicalads.io/advertising-vision/

I talked a bit more about it here: https://www.ericholscher.com/blog/2016/aug/31/funding-oss-ma...
