I just filed bug #1491253 to track the lack of a setting to disable/enable javascript.
As for a close button, that’s effectively what the OK/accept button does (whatever the script in the page does after closing the alert dialog is not something the browser can control). As I wrote earlier, javascript dialogs are meant to be modal, so there’s no way they can be presented like a separate tab. Javascript dialogs are in general a bad idea from a design perspective, they interrupt the user flow, and modern websites should avoid using them in favour of less intrusive notifications. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to webbrowser-app in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1490750 Title: ad blocks web-browser Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Bq aquaris 4.5 15.04 r24 Some types of ads can block the web-browser because you just have the option to click in the add pop-up Its very annoying since if you restart the web-browser it charges again the add. The only why to avoid it is after restart web-browser be faster than the app to close the window before it'll be charged.
