Advertising _without tracking_. Advertising was done that way for all of human history until recently. Take away their ability to run arbitrary code on users machines and the problem is completely solved. There just needs to be an advertising company that steps up to the plate and says: We will get your ads to eyeballs and _we_ will ensure sites are holding up their end of the deal instead of deferring that role to user machines. You won't be able to track users, but you never should have been allowed to do that anyway.
