I thought this was a solved problem in most web browsers. Just show a nonmodal dialog for popups like in safari and chrome.

- pragmatick 8y agoThe solution is simple and there are other problems with having a modal dialog (I can't think of many dialogs that should be modal when they only affect one tab). For example if you want to lookup a password for the dialog you have to open a new window.

I made a previous comment about this and you can test that behavior on a safe site like regex101.com: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17046268 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17046268
