The fact that people make bad things with features doesn’t mean these features are inherently bad. You’ll always have people abusing the technology. Pop up dialogs are used a lot for e.g. form validation.

Preventing the bad things may easily be more valuable to users than keeping/enabling the good things made possibly by that tech.

  Most browsers now let you stop alerts from a website, thus avoiding the `while (true) { alert(…); }` variants.

    OK, how does a user stop an alert? Pick a browser and explain.

      Chrome gives you a checkbox on the second alert on the same website to prevent any future one. You can’t avoid the first two but you can avoid all the next ones.
