> Modals that blocks focus to an entire browser window aren't really a good idea (I'm of the opinion that they are almost always a shitty idea, but that's harder to argue). Good news then, because alert/prompt/confirm do not block the window in any modern browser! In Firefox it only blocks the viewport of the current tab, so it behaves exactly like a DIY modal. In Chromium browsers it does pop over part of the browser UI, but it still doesn't block the window; You interact with the tab bar, address bar, menu, etc. |

Correct: they don't block the browser's desktop UI thread - but they do block the web-page's thread - and for abvout the past decade we can't move alert/prompt/confirm prompts: Chrome forces them to appear at the very top, dead-centre, and you can't scroll the page while it's open.
