Without replacing it with something? blink.gif

Remember those pages that just continued to spawn alert boxes? People tricked each other to go there. Great fun! 😂

Seems many developers use the console log for diagnostics these days, instead of alerts. unsure.gif

Can't remember last time I saw an alertbox meant for site visitors really. That's still not a reason for Google to break backwards-compatibility on the web.

Yes, when I debug scripts I use console log also. But, when I need to interact with the user I still use alert. Ex: When the user deletes a database record I use the alert to confirm this. I don't need anything fancy, a simple OK or Cancel works fine.
