All these browsers have that darn Modal dialog alert that lets the code below the line of death trap you on their site. Definitely a disconnect with the plight of their users.
- notriddle 10y agoAfter the first pop-up Chrome and Firefox let you say "block all the dialogs from this site from now on."
- PretzelFisch 10y agoI have not seen that consistently, maybe there is a bug. Also the trick works for basic auth and I don't think they have addressed that yet?
- meredydd 10y agoI believe the commonest circumvention is to redirect to another URL and back, thereby making this a "new" page visit and reset that checkbox.
- madeofpalk 10y agoSafari on both iOS and Mac have changed their Modal dialog alert that sites can trigger to be visually distinct from OS dialogs, which is a small welcome change. http://imgur.com/a/wRElN http://imgur.com/a/wRElN Also worth nothing that in Safari the modals don't block the rest of the browser (I believe at least Firefox does this as well?) and are fully contained to its own tab.
- magila 10y agoThe latest variation on this I've seen is sites which repeatedly force Chrome to switch to full-screen view, thus preventing you from navigating away from them. Apparently they've found a way to override Chrome's anti-abuse mechanisms.
