Browsers should be taking care of continuous alert() calls.

  They do. When I open it I get the option to not show alerts from this page again.

  They do - modern browsers make "alert()" be a part of the page's content instead of browser UI - you can still interact with the browser's UI to close or switch away the tab. Maybe this entire incident was raised by an idiot opening it in a truly ancient browser?

  They do - there's a checkbox "Prevent this page from creating additional dialogs".

  I was surprised to see it still gets hung up on Chrome. I frequently see the "Prevent this page from creating additional dialogs?" option in Chrome. Not sure why it doesn't happen here.

    Usually you get this after two or three alerts, not the first one.

  Applications generally shouldn't have APIs that run foreign code that can freeze the app/page.
