Why does the browser ask if I want to leave?
Some websites use a message about unsaved changes to make you hesitate. This practice may show that real browser message. If it asks whether you want to leave, click Leave.
Returning to the normal window leaves the page open. To finish, close the practice tab using the X beside its title.
On a real suspicious page, use the browser’s controls to close the tab. Buttons inside the warning may be misleading.
