Enhances Opera’s popup blocking by also blocking popups triggered by mouse movements. Popups can only be blocked if they are opened by the immediate event handler, not by functions it calls. This catches the majority of popups activated by mouse movements.
Note: if a mouse movement event handler appears to be opening a popup, the entire handler will be blocked, not just the popup opening action.
This script was inspired by a submission by Lee Harvey but was written completely independently.
Deprecated: After Opera 9, this script is no longer needed.
