--- Comment #10 from Marcin Cieślak <[email protected]> ---
Yes, autosave would not be that bad too. I usually change 1 or 2 settings at
once (skin, gadgets) and rarely having a whole bunch of things unsaved. But
while javascripting this please keep in mind users of browsers like w3m (one my
favourites) that do not do any Javascript.

I see that this originated by watching lots of different browsers: I think that
having inconsistent behaviour accross browsers is not necessarily a bad thing;
once I am using some browser most of the time I know how to dismiss dialogs
permanently (if I can).  I actually prefer to have the browser windows because
it is the same across DIFFERENT WEBSITES, and I am usually unhappy if some
website takes over some browser capabilities because its developers KNOW
better.
Imagine this would have happened with things like SSL - every website offering
they own version of the padlock and certificate display (I am speaking about
usability here, not about actual security).

Btw. I leave browser dialogs on by default for more important reason - unsaved
changes in the editing interface; that's much more important.
