+ Ordinary configuration file changes no longer cause program

- <para>
- This action is basically a built-in, hardwired special-purpose filter
- action, but there are important differences: For <literal>kill-popups</literal>,
- the document need not be buffered, so it can be incrementally rendered while
- downloading. But <literal>kill-popups</literal> doesn't catch as many pop-ups as
- <literal><link
- linkend="FILTER-ALL-POPUPS">filter{<replaceable>all-popups</replaceable>}</link></literal>
- does and is not as smart as <literal><link
- linkend="FILTER-UNSOLICITED-POPUPS">filter{<replaceable>unsolicited-popups</replaceable>}</link>
- </literal>is.
- </para>
- <para>
- Think of it as a fast and efficient replacement for a filter that you
- can use if you don't want any filtering at all. Note that it doesn't make
- sense to combine it with any <literal><link linkend="filter">filter</link></literal> action,
- since as soon as one <literal><link linkend="filter">filter</link></literal> applies,
- the whole document needs to be buffered anyway, which destroys the advantage of
- the <literal>kill-popups</literal> action over its filter equivalent.
- </para>
- <para>
- Killing all pop-ups unconditionally is problematic. Many shops and banks rely on
- pop-ups to display forms, shopping carts etc, and the <literal><link
- linkend="FILTER-UNSOLICITED-POPUPS">filter{<replaceable>unsolicited-popups</replaceable>}</link>
- </literal> does a better job of catching only the unwanted ones.
- </para>
- <para>
- If the only kind of pop-ups that you want to kill are exit consoles (those
- <emphasis>really nasty</emphasis> windows that appear when you close an other
- one), you might want to use
- <literal><link
- linkend="filter">filter</link>{<replaceable>js-annoyances</replaceable>}</literal>
- instead.
- </para>
- <para>
- This action is most appropriate for browsers that don't have any controls
- for unwanted pop-ups. Not recommended for general usage.
