Do you want to leave this web site?
Why?
Why ask do we want to leave when we closed the browser for a reason. What is the reason for asking if we want to leave when we always want to leave anyways? We never say no. So why ask? |

The longer the browser stays open to the site, the more "advertising views" get counted. If you open to a web page, and only view it for two seconds, the site receives *no* compensation. It doesn't count as a view. The advertising they show, only counts if the browser window stays open for a fixed period of time. By hooking the "dismiss" methods of the web page, and putting up bogus prompts or delaying your departure, that ensures your visit earns them their $0.01 (penny). If you "click thru" an advertising picture, then champagne corks fly and the staff on the web site throw a party. As now they've earned $0.02. Don't click the adverts, unless you want them getting drunk. Paul |

It is simply double-checking, giving you an opportunity to change your mind or to say "No, no, no. I didn't mean to do that." I'm not sure but I wouldn't be surprised if some browsers gave you the option to turn that double-checking off. |

Anything to get people to linger and somehow show them more ads. nospam will never give you a useful answer about anything. It's best to ignore him. I've never seen such a message. I don't normally enable script, but even when I do I've never seen anything asking if I *really* want to leave. I wonder if that has to do with tabs. If you close the browser there's no script-based way to load new content. But if you decide to close a tab maybe there is. I've never used tabs, nor have I written script to deal with them, so I'm not sure. |

Even one that can killfile replies to me. Even one that allows you to turn that ****ing html off that nobody wants to see. Useless fool. |

Can you provide a correct answer for the OP's original question(s)? there is no single answer. any site can trap on a close event for any reason. often it's when there are unsaved changes in a web form, but it can be anything the web site designer wants. ideally it serves a useful purpose, but most of the time it's annoying. it's also in the who cares category. one extra click to close. big deal. |

I normally see this for web forms. It's making sure you want to discard whatever you've filled in the form, if anything. |

I'm not sure but I wouldn't be surprised if some browsers gave you the option to turn that double-checking off. I don't think it's a browser thing as much as it is an "in-browser" thing. I've seen it and similar pop-ups on a number of the tech sites. Usually it's a "Before you go, sign up . . ." for a newsletter, etc, and I have pop-ups disabled.
