Or just have browsers disable javascript by default and require explicit permission to use it.

90+% of web pages shouldn't need it for anything.

Or make a dead-slow subset that doesn’t eat cpu cycles, but schedules 10-20 ops every 1ms. And then enable full-speed if the user asks. Ads guys would then resurrect a demoscene spirit out of it. Ah, dreams.

I'd be a lot more in favour of ads if they had more copper effects and shadebobs.
