Konqueror can kill JavaScript, but it appears to kill all
JavaScript. The Galeon option appears to kill pop-ups
specifically. Is that correct?
And while I ponder Konqueror, I have one other question: I
have "Enable Web Shortcuts" turned on, and I _thought_ this
would allow me to type, say "av" and go directly to
altavista. Instead, Konqueror sends it to Google as a search
term. Should that happen?
