Yes, I understand what you mean. Unfortunately, it’s the nature of
javascript alerts to be modal dialogs, so if a website chooses to put an
ad (or a fake virus warning or whatever scam mechanism) in an alert,
there’s nothing the user can do about it, except for not browsing to
this website.

There doesn’t seem to be any setting in oxide to disallow javascript
dialogs specifically (other than entirely turning off javascript, which
nowadays would result in a very broken UX on the web).

Title:
  ad blocks web-browser

Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Bq aquaris 4.5 15.04 r24

  Some types of ads can block the web-browser because you just have the option to click in the add pop-up
  Its very annoying since if you restart the web-browser it charges again the add. The only why to avoid it is after restart web-browser be faster than the app to close the window before it'll be charged.
