STOP! Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page?

Of course I am sure.  I don't need to stay on a page of ads. 

How many times have you accidentally navigated away from a page?  Probably none. 

It gets my attention, okay, but not in the right way.

I have often thought the same thing.  I guess it's the advertiser's last ditch effort to get your full attention.

Ye si agree it gets a little annoying for sure

  I hate it too..... and even more when it asks you like 10 times and finally lets you continue. Now I sometimes can't even close that popup and I have to kill my browser and start all over

The word press on my websites does that as well. The sad thing is, that I am not sure. What is sadder than that is, that I tell that to my computer.  I also do this when I am fixing other's people computer.
