Regarding 2: Probably impossible. Regarding 1: hold websites and ad networks legally culpable for delivering malware from ads. Probably also not possible. Keep

  I agree with you on 2 most likely not being possible (or reasonable) given that the revenue model is based in sharing user data, but I'm not so sure that 1 is completely out of the question. I don't necessarily think that it's reasonable to have a zero tolerance policy for ad networks or the sites serving them regarding malware (cuz perfect security doesn't exist), but what about requiring some basic standard of due diligence for the ad networks themselves?

    Zero tolerance, maybe maybe not. But if I ran a restaurant and kept ordering from a supplier that kept giving me deliberately poisoned meat, I should be held responsible. And there's a reason ads are slow, easily blocked, client-side javascript. Site operators know they serve malware and don't want it on their own servers.
