felsiq@piefed.zip 5 days agoI don’t know if anyone reading this will ever have this problem (if you got this far without installing an adblocker, this is your wake up call - go get one now), but ctrl+W is the shortcut to kill a tab and that should work regardless site focus or popups

Unless the lovely javascript detects that you’re trying to close the tab and hijacks that to ask you if you are sure you want to
forcefully tell them to fuck off and dieleave the page. It’s only one extra click, sure, but I remember some from the old days that wouldn’t let you close shit. Ugh, thank god for better modern standards and adblockers.
