This whole thing would actually be technically quite easy to solve: just introduce new attribute to iframe, say f.ex. you could have traffic-limit="10MB", and request-limit="5". Browser would block the iframe and anything that runs in it cold, if it exceeds limits. In an ad-auction one would sell the ad space with the knowledge of those limits. Publisher would have perfect control on how heavy ads they allow on their page. Ad networks could still run arbitrary js. And tracking the amount of raw traffic or requests on a separate iframe should not be hard to implement.
- ojosilva 10y agoWouldn't it be easy to just... var iframe = document.createElement('iframe'); iframe.src = '(ad url here)'; document.body.appendChild(iframe); For every new ad?
- Mikushi 10y agoYup it would be, and as someone working in the ad tech industry it's most definitely what would happen.
- Dylan16807 10y agoSure, and since that code runs inside the frame because you're not crazy enough to let it out of its box, the new nested frame shares the same budget. No problem.
