:clap: This looks great! I'm very excited that ethical ads are becoming more and more common. It looks like this recently launched.

I am the founder of https://CodeFund.app. We are an ethical ad platform that is focused on funding open bloggers, builders and maintainers. We also do not do any tracking of users nor allow 3rd party scripts.

I'd love to connect sometime and see if there's anything we can do to help. We also have a small group that meets each month to discuss ethical ads.

Javascript again... That means putting the balls of my visitors in your hands. I would not do that. It does not feel ethical to me.

I wish there was an ad network that works with static html elements.

We provide a server-to-server API service that allows HTML rendering sans JavaScript. However, the unethical part of using scripts is not in the fact that scripts are used, but what those scripts include. Yes, there must be trust between parties. This is why we are 100% open source. This is why we ensure that no 3rd party scripts are included alongside ours.

I’m sorry, but I do not believe you can get more ethical than that. I stand behind our mission and our reputation.
