Why the heck would they take out the checkbox on javascript alert box to "not repeat anymore". Since they did, the only option to leave annoying website that pops javascript alerts in never-ending loop is Ctr+Alt+Del.

What were they thinking??

Didn't they make it so that you can switch tabs and close tabs even when one of the tabs has an alert open?

Of course, sometimes it still is nice to be able to turn off alerts and then keep using the page.
