"So when I see a popup that says, for example, Do You Really Want To Leave This Site, unless I trust the site, I won’t click it. You could be authorizing the server to do all kinds of crap. Better to go in your taskbar and click X on that screen."

Good tip. Thanks - if you click on anything you really don't know what you're authorizing.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t help because these vulnerabilities don’t require the user to do anything except navigate to a website that has a script that will infect your browser by invoking browser services maliciously. . . Or it could be on a user’s frequently used website and the script comes in on a rotation advertisement from Google. No authorization required.

What have found though is that when this happens the site will not let you go until you click one of the options, they lock you in and won’t let go. The back button is useless and just keeps refreshing the same page. Sometimes I can double click, or hit the back button repeatedly and it will actually go back. But I am finding now that some of these require a browser shutdown and restart to get out of it.
