Note you can't control the look of the popup. It will just be a generic browser alert() box, so no need to create a design.

This comment is for exiting the browser. The player can leave by clicking the top left arrow. Clicking the resign button. Writing disable karma. etc..

Is there an update on this issue? I believe a popup would be beneficial to prevent users from quitting unintentionally
