On: Thank you for ad blocking

What code is "safe" isn't necessarily something that's set in stone. Exploits could easily deliver code that looks safe but causes problems. And each new version could introduce a new exploit.

And then there's the upcoming WebAssembly, which is bound to be ruined by ad networks in the future.

I believe it's also common to just create a safe, but high CTR ad (OMG 60% off) and save the malicious javascript for the landing page.
