Yes, that's probably exactly why prompts started taking over most browsers. It is much easier to throw up an alert box than to use more complex automated means to solve the problem. Personally, I like the approach Chromium is taking in terms of avoiding constant user interaction... but it definitely makes for a huge learning curve when getting used to certain things that we have all been programmed to understand.
I'm still trying to get used to seeing popups appear in the lower right, virtually minimized... or to downloads happening automatically... but I've learned to eventually appreciate these aspects.
