There’s no keyboard shortcut you can use to get rid of them. Sure there is: 1. Alt-F4 2. Ctrl-Alt-Del

  I've found that many of them respond to ESC, probably for accessibility reasons. It's almost become a reflex when the page suddenly goes dim to thwack the key before whatever garbage they decided to shove in my face finishes loading.

    That's nice when you are on a web browser designed for desktop use, but that recourse is never present on mobile, which is where I encounter a large majority of modals. It's doubly annoying when you have to press that tiny little X with sausage fingers like mine. Not to mention when they are coded to only display an image of an X rather than an actual close link and you get redirected anyways. I hate these thing with a burning passion.
