Consider implementing NoScript with default untrusted settings, ensuring no JavaScript runs on any site until approved. This prevents all ads from loading across all websites you visit. Trust only the sites you regularly use. It also blocks potential malware from any site, as HTL cannot compromise a system. A promising approach could involve AI-powered scrapers and the Internet Archive identifying this practice and turning it into a viable business opportunity. For example, an ISP might allow customers to contribute a small fee—perhaps a few dollars per month—to fund all websites they access. This would provide financial support without intrusive ads. People might still discover such a model through word of mouth, articles, or online discussions. I suspect many would agree to pay a modest monthly amount (around a dollar or two) if it helps keep unwanted ads out for services that don’t currently offer subscriptions.
They increase rates occasionally, usually by a few dollars every couple of years.
