Modal dialog blocking tab closure (utube)

For the first time this message that forces you to click:

The dialog appears when I try to close the tab, and prevents any interaction until a button is clicked (including the x tab closure!). Is there any way to expose the tab and bypass this pesky dialog?

Hello Gnarlodious,


For this issue with Safari, you can complete the following steps to see if they help to correct the issue:


      1. Force quit all the running apps (including Safari) on your Mac. Here's how: How to force an app to quit on your Mac.
      2. Next, hold down the Shift key on your Mac while clicking to open Safari. This will help to refresh and reset the Safari app settings.
      3. When Safari opens, Clear your browsing history in Safari on Mac.
      4. Quit/close Safari once more, and reopen by holding down the Shift key once more and clicking to open the app.


If this does not help to resolve the issue, you may want to reach out to Apple directly for further support with this issue.
