How can I reach the opposite effect: to remain most EWMH features but make xmonad not recognize the browser's request? Oftentimes, I open many links in newsbeuter but do not want the browser takes the focus.

This presently requires a hacked copy of EwmhDesktops. It's requested often enough that this might change, though. Personally I'd like to see some extensions mechanism to make it easier to opt in to/out of the focus change message or fullscreen, those being the two things that we often want to be opt-able. Maybe other features should also be made available for opt in/out as well.
