  Permissions, permissions, permissions. "This site wants to take a dump in your browser history. Allow?" should fix things nicely.

    Yea I wish we could keep the browser in document mode and switch to app mode if someone is an asshole enough to embed an article in a single page app that loads the content asynchronously.

    The alternative was back in the day when clickjackers could install Actionscript malware without a prompt that rootkitted the whole computer. Sandboxing and prompts are a definite win.
