Description
This breaks pages/sites that use alerts, such as confirmations before a delete and similar.
According to [this answer](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38931626/javascript-alert-and-confirm-popups-not-working-with-webkit-in-ios-9#38931713) the webview should use a delegate to make it work. I am not versed in iOS, so I am not sure if that is the proper solution.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating where the iOS webview is created and how its delegate is configured. Reproduce a page using JavaScript alert and confirm dialogs, then verify that those dialogs are no longer silently ignored and that confirmation flows work as expected.
