Google is now forcing my to go elsewhere and I pay for gsuite. I may as well move it all over to Proton.

I use noscript and refuse to turn on JavaScript for anything but actual Web Applications. I do not turn it on for general browsing of content to be read or search because the the UX abuse that JavaScript enables.

The majority of exploits in the wild are delivered via drive by JavaScript.

That said I'm all for honest Advertising if the UX is not shit.

In fact I think there should be an HTML5 <ad></ad> tag implmented in the browsers sandbox that supports IAB VAST specs so none the that "VAST MACRO" garbage would need to done via huge JavaScript payloads.
