Public bug reported:

Visit http://youbute.com/ (which is a scam site) on your phone in
webbrowser-app.

A javascript alert will come up warning about viruses and nonsense.  But
you can't scroll down to the OK button.  And you can't dismiss the alert
or switch tabs or anything.

** Affects: webbrowser-app (Ubuntu)
