Reported by @snacktavish. In recent Chrome browsers, the user can suppress these JS popups, which is handy since they can be misused. Unfortunately, this can prevent a curator from (e.g.) deleting trees from a collection or any other operation that usually requires confirmation.
Here's somediscussion on why these popups are now discouraged, and a JS polyfill that should provide equivalent functionality vis the proposed dialog element. I (@jimallman) will look at incorporating this in place of our existing calls to alert and confirm.
