> But after dialogs were added to chrome in 2014 it took 8 years until there were also available in firefox and safari. I do not want to have to wait for that long again.
The problems with dialog were so numerous that no one wanted them as specified. At one point Chrome suggested that `dialog` spec should be removed. [0]
But then a curious thing happened: browsers decided to remove alert/confirm/prompt with zero replacement for their functionality [1]. Once again, Chrome was the first to announce this, with an insanely short deadline.
After an outcry (and an outrage) this was rolled back, and literally within months `dialog` with no changes and all the issues intact and unsolved landed in all major browsers.
