Certain websites has links which opens like
Potentially Unsafe site:
Code:
hxxp://add.cinemastock.xyz/new/?clickid=8d5fepmslsywfc52&language=en-US&country=India

and consistently tags you to install their extension, lest you can't continue browsing or switch tabs or anything. You would have to force shutdown your browser.

uBlock and Pop-up blocker (strict) doesn't block it. Any other alternative, other than adding a filter to ublock? Because I would need to manually do the same for every such site I encounter.

Mod Edit: URL Warning

I'm not on computer right now so I'll test tomorrow if my uBO i uBO Extra block that site. I'm subscribed to bunch of filters. :)
It doesn't and it shouldn't. It's not the purpose of the extension. The way to avoid such issues is to not visit random sites and if you ever do and you get such issues never go back.
If you go to such site close the first alert, right click the tab and click exit. Never go back.
... And they all lived happily ever after... THE END!

Doesn't know about any addon to block these sites but Noscript disables the dialog box (which appears and doesn't allow you to click anywhere) and you can easily close the tab.
P.S in my case(with UBlock origin) i could close the tab even without Noscript, although that annoying dialog box did appeared.

this is very idealistic. sometimes we go to these sites by accident. or friends/family go on them and don't know any better

Which browser do you use?

You can click "Prevent this page from creating additional dialogues" in Chrome for example, but usually closing the tab works instead of force closing the browser.

@jackuars Mod Edit, don't post live unsafe links.

You can't do that, once you close the alert, another alert box comes in, and another. It wouldn't go unless you force close your browser using task manager. Running 360TS and uBlock with Pop-up blocker (strict)

I tried clicking on "prevent this page from creating additional dialogues" to no avail.

It doesn't open a new dialog for me until i click on the page again which i don't because i just right click the tab and close it.

I think consider using McAfee Web Advisor or Norton Safe Web to block that specific website.

Make sure that you don't clear the cache on the browser, cause once you did it then you need to tick 'prevent this page from creating additional dialogues'.
