This unfortunately also affects almost all mobile apps and modern Windows installations, as they all run Javascript-enabled ads. Maybe this might cause Microsoft to reconsider what it allows to run on Windows but I don't see mobile ads going away any time soon.
- tzahola 9y ago>javascript-enabled ads Good opportunity to get rid of them.
- comicjk 9y agoOr, as a compromise, no third-party javascript. Google can easily code up the 100 most common javascript ad formats and let advertisers pick from a menu.
- coldacid 9y agoI'd rather just be rid of them altogether. No compromise.
- tzahola 9y agoWhy would you need a Turing-complete language to describe advertisements? Why can't they be static images? Or static HTMLs?
- comicjk 9y agoFrom the advertiser's perspective, it wouldn't be a Turing-complete language, since they would only have access to standardized templates. Such a system would probably have to be implemented in Javascript at the browser level though, unless you could do it all with CSS animations.
- rev_null 9y agoDo they really need 100 formats? 1. Video ad that autoplays. 2. Punch the monkey. 3. ???
