That assumes the proxied content has to include Javascript. We would all be better off if advertisements did not. A proper proxy implementation would filter it out.

Possibly one could also proxy every proxied domain to a separate subdomain to avoid that problem.
E.g. example.org.my-https-proxy.example and annoying-advertisement.example.my-https-proxy.example

The problem with doing that if that you have separate HTTPS startup latency for every separate ad provider, which on some sites seems to be half a dozen or more. If you can safely proxy advertising content, pages will load much faster.
If advertisers just can't live without Javascript, perhaps the W3C could standardize on a technique to sandbox scripts originating from the same domain, even running on the same page.
