> If uBlock Origin offered an ad whitelist that only allows ad networks that a) serve only their own JavaScript, no third party crap

Wait, why would an acceptable ad network have JavaScript at all? Maybe a minimal, pre-approved bit of JS to help the network understand where the ad is being placed, but even that is questionable.

Frankly, I consider it somewhere between bizarre and obviously wrong for any serious website that needs to follow HIPPA, PCI, or any other reasonable security standard to allow un-audited third party JS at all.
