I think this makes a good case for not allowing any site to create
browser-modal UI. Could browsers handle confirm() and friends in such a way
that they only block the contents of the tab, not the whole browser?
sure given many years and lots of rearchitecture.
i suspect chrome and ie8 are closest. anyone else who runs javascript
in process is almost certainly stuck.
An alternative from Opera:
The confirm dialog is whole-browser-modal, but it has a checkbox
captioned "Stop executing scripts on this page" which allows you to
forcefully kill off a script that's repeatedly displaying dialogs as in
the example that prompted this message.
