Likewise. about:blank is an essential tweak for me. Never happens now. (I'm on Mandriva Linux - Gnome version.)
The other thing that bugs me is when I'm touch typing and a dialog box pops up. It takes whatever keys I'm entering and treats them as input to the dialog.
Dialog: "Do you want to delete all the files in your Pictures directory? Yes/No"
Me typing away, sees a dialog box flash up then disappear, too fast to see. Hmm, wonder if that was important? (That never happened, to my pictures, but there's been plenty of mystery dialog boxes.)
I'm giving about:blank a try. Before, I could hit Alt-Home to get to Google and start typing a search; needed an equally fast and predictable replacement. Just found out about "smart keywords" in Firefox--go to address bar, type "google keyword" or "wp keyword" for wikipedia. Excellent.
I believe dialog intrusions have become rare on Windows; it's one of the things they've fixed fairly well. I don't get 'em much on the Mac anymore either, though it does happen.

En heb ik die advertenties te slikken,die sinds kort op deze livejournal verschijnen. Ook op andere websites wordt het adverteren steeds agressiever : o.a. met geluid erbij. De lol gaat er zo af . Like

And the focus stealing happens more often under windows (for me, that is, mileage may vary) than under mac OS, and I hate both of them for it.

I use g for google, w for wikipedia, and a for appropedia. with alt-D to get to the address bar, that's less mousing and less typing.
I also set the default search to google, standard not "feeling lucky". See http://chriswaterguy.livejournal.com/34545.html
Glad to hear it's possible to fix dialog intrusions - hopefully this will be fixed on my next upgrade (trying Mandriva 2009.0).
