Safari has actually changed behaviour so alert/prompt/confirm dialogs are not modal outside of the tab - you can switch to other tabs and I believe even close the window/tab.
They've also been restyled to make it obvious they're a prompt from the website not from safari itself.
Also, there are legitimate uses for this functionality, so as with many things I think the solution is not to remove the functionality, just improve the implementation.

- spatulon 10y agoChrome did this when it originally shipped, by rendering each tab in its own Windows desktop (in the same way that the lock screen is a separate desktop). For some reason they removed that functionality, and dialogs are now modal across all tabs.
