Actually, if it's things like this you're trying to avoid, I think more
convenient solution could be to have a few options in one of the
configuration dialogs that let you disable certain javascript features.
One could be "enable popup windows", or perhaps even "enable window
control" (I've seen sites which resize/maximize your window which can
also be annoying).
