Would that be a way to prevent certain kinds of "browser capture" by annoying advertisers? Stuff like "disable the back button", "pop-unders", and of course pop-ups ... it's not just disabled folk who would rather rid the world of such monstrosities! Actually I'd rather see some root cause fixes for that sort of thing, like standard security policies disabling those behaviors. I'm skeptical about such sanity becoming the norm, unfortunately. - Dave
