> Yes, we're pushing the notification to a new tab (which can't be blocked or interfered with)

We went through a similar iteration with Password Alert. If you're setting focus on the new tab, an onBlur event could indicate that the current page has lost focus, perhaps due to the warning tab. I think notifying the user is still net-positive for the user's security.

Interesting, I hadn't heard of Password Alert -- we should definitely share notes if you're open to it -- I'd love to be able to generalize what we're doing to other domains if we could -- it's unfortunately cpu intense how we're doing it.

Sure thing, I'm happy to help. Our code is at https://github.com/google/password-alert and feel free to email me any questions at drew@overt.org

However we haven't published a good design document about the client. If you're interested, let me know and I'll try to publish one.
