Not sure when this was added (might have been the most recent Edge update), but they now have a "Do not allow this site to open more dialogs" checkbox so those input hijacking websites that claim to be a virus, or from Microsoft can no longer be permanently locked out.
It works pretty well, though it can take a few seconds for the malicious site to cycle through all its scripts trying to open more dialogs. Eventually you can close the tab.
Thanks for the information

The current version of Edge is 27.11099.1000.0, from the latest insider release.
But where I can turn it ON?The current version of Edge is 27.11099.1000.0, from the latest insider release.
it's on by default, I don't know if there is any way to enable or disable it.. it's just there, if you're using the latest redstone build.But where I can turn it ON?
Thanks, I see!it's on by default, I don't know if there is any way to enable or disable it.. it's just there, if you're using the latest redstone build.
That's good to know @Mystere, now maybe I won't have to use Task Manager and kill Edge's process when that happens.
Do you mean this?
I'm pretty sure it has always been there (as long as I can remember anyway). Certainly I just took this on 10586 after trying to close a pop-up from some dodgy site or other.
Guess I look at too many of those huh
