I just filed bug #1491253 to track the lack of a setting to
disable/enable javascript.

As for a close button, that’s effectively what the OK/accept button does
(whatever the script in the page does after closing the alert dialog is
not something the browser can control). As I wrote earlier, javascript
dialogs are meant to be modal, so there’s no way they can be presented
like a separate tab. Javascript dialogs are in general a bad idea from a
design perspective, they interrupt the user flow, and modern websites
should avoid using them in favour of less intrusive notifications.

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.
