[webkit-dev] Changes to window.focus/window.blur controlled by a setting?

[Eric Seidel]

So the goal (FF's goal) is to guilt the site into not using pop-ups
anymore? Since they don't want to take you away from their content (as
pop-unders allow them to do?)

My first thought was that we might as well just nuke/block the pop-up
if it calls blur() (and log to the console somewhere).  But perhaps we
can try that in a year if this fails to produce results. :)
