The safari solution is a half-backed one.
The safari UI is not blocked by the pop-up, but the webview of that tab is.
You have to close the tab, you can't just stop the popup without closing it.
I find chromium/firefox solution of adding a check-box with a "prevent this page from creating additional dialogs" option much better.</pre>
