Yes, I understand what you mean. Unfortunately, it’s the nature of
javascript alerts to be modal dialogs, so if a website chooses to put an
ad (or a fake virus warning or whatever scam mechanism) in an alert,
there’s nothing the user can do about it, except for not browsing to
this website.
There doesn’t seem to be any setting in oxide to disallow javascript
dialogs specifically (other than entirely turning off javascript, which
nowadays would result in a very broken UX on the web).
