Prevent Google from Stealing Mouse/Cursor Focus?
Google and the other search engines have implemented a really annoying feature where the page steals your cursor focus and puts it in their search bar. So my homepage is the Google News site, but as I try to type in the address bar, it suddenly switches to the Google News search bar, and I accidentally type in there. Really Google, you need those extra few hits?
Is there a way to block this in Safari, either in the settings or with a plugin or extension or Greasemonkey script? Also, I've never made an extension before, but I'd be happy to make one to block this if it's easy. In Firefox, you can block that part of the HTML loader by editing prefs:
user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "nofocus");
user_pref("capability.policy.nofocus.sites", "http://www.yahoo.com");
user_pref("capability.policy.nofocus.HTMLInputElement.focus", "noAccess");
But I don't really know how this works...
EDIT: It seems that either my computer with all its mods and extensions or the new Safari itself blocks this. I remember it happening before, though, and others are complaining about it.
