Tab Modality: Chrome makes it happen

I’ve always hated modal interruptions, and Chrome has done what should have been done ages ago: made them modal per tab rather than per window. Apparently this is quite tricky in Cocoa, but I’m glad they bothered to make it happen. Death to modal interruptions!

    I find this sad, actually. There’s any number of ways to tie questions to a specific tab other than creative abuse of APIs. This will bite them eventually, and when it does it will bite their users as well.

    Would rather they have faked the dialogs rather than using Cocoa ones?
