Turning Hardware Acceleration OFF seems to be the setting that affects popups  amp  dialogs   Chrome was continually hiding Dialog Windows when I needed to respond Yes or No to things  also when I needed to Rename folders in my bookmarks panel  After weeks of doing this  I disabled all the Chrome helpers in Settings  Also In windows 10 I switched Window Snapping off  It has done something to put the popups and dialogs back in the Viewport   When this bug is happening  I was able to shut a tab by first pressing Enter before clicking the tab close X button  The browser had an alert box  hidden which needed a response from the user   Switching Hardware Accleration Off and back On  Killing the Chrome process and switching all the other Helpers Off and back has fixed it for me    It must be in chrome itself because Ive just gone into a Chrome window in the Mac and it has now stopped the problem  without any intervention  Im guessing flicking the chrome settings on off on has caused it to reposition the dialogs  I cant get the browser to repeat the fault now

Close the tab of the page you disabled alerts  Re-open the page in a new tab  The setting only lasts for the session  so alerts will be re-enabled once the new session begins in the new tab

2 more solutions I had luck with when neither tab close   reopening the page in another tab nor closing all tabs in Chrome  and the browser  then restarting it didn t work   1  I fixed it on my machine by closing the tab  force-closing Chrome   amp  restarting the browser without restoring tabs  Note  on a computer running CentOS Linux    2  My boss  also on CentOS  had the same issue  alerts are a big part of my company s Javascript debugging process for numerous reasons e g  legacy   but my 1st method didn t work for him  However  I managed to fix it for him with the following process    a  Make an empty text file called FixChrome sh  and paste in the following bash script       bin bash cd    config google-chrome Default       adjust for your Chrome install location rm Preferences rm  Current Session  rm  Current Tabs  rm  Last Session  rm  Last Tabs   b  close Chrome  then open Terminal and run the script  bash FixChrome sh     It worked for him  Downside is that you lose all tabs from your current  amp  previous session  but it s worth it if this matters to you

So the correct answer is  YES  there is a better way   Right click on the tab and select  Duplicate   then close the original tab if you wish   Alerting is re-enabled in the duplicate   The duplicate tab seems to recreate the running state of the original tab so you can just continue where you were

There seems to be a process that suppresses all console log messages if there are too many alerts in a JS script  That s a problem if you are trying to debug a script   I ve been running a script on Chrome and Brave and all of a sudden console log messages were stopped   Yet with Firefox all the console log messages still appear    same exact script  The problem is not checking or unchecking the warnings  errors  and debug messages  I m at a loss for this    is it Windows blocking  quot a site quot    I tried clearing the cache resetting all settings in Chrome  yet the problem still remains   I suppose I could try reinstalling both browsers

No  But you should really use console log   instead of alert   for debugging   In Chrome it even has the advantage of being able to print out entire objects  not just toString
