prompt(), confirm(), alert() are slated for deprecation by google

[ericscheid]

the Google Chrome team is planning to deprecate alert(), prompt(), and confirm(), the three browser-native ways to surface a modal window to users.

The phrasing of the ticket implies that this is only on cross-domain sites (ie. third-party iframes), which in-and-of itself breaks sites like CodePen. But if you dig deeper into the conversation, you learn that they’re actually planning to do this for all sites and implementations.

In our code base it appears we only use confirm(), and this is for handling deleting brews (our authorship of brews).

Looks like there are a couple of misc. mentions of confirm() and prompt() in some of the other packages we use too.

Tagging as bug-regression, not because we broke it, but because it wasis working and now isn't will be become broken. But not quite just now.

Looks like this is currently on hold, the Chrome team promised to announce the change several months in advance if/when they decide to move forward with it.
