Well I may have misunderstood your question but I use Netscape 7.02 that
comes with two handy features:
1. Edit -> Preferences -> Privacy & Security -> Popup Window Controls
    I selected "Supress popups." The nice thing about this is that you can
include exceptions.
    For example, Legato now uses javascript pop-ups for their support/
knowledgebase and
     it works even though all other pop-ups are suppressed.

2. Slightly related is that you can also control Javascript under
Advanced -> Scripts & Plugins -> Allow Javascript for Navigator
    Then within that you can restrict what functions you will allow your
javascript to do.

Other browsers may do all that and more, we are confined to IE for most of
the company and Netscape for some in IS. Anyhow I think the gist is that
this can resolved at the browser instead of looking for a proxy based
solution.
