Isn't this very useful though... like you're about to close a page without saving changes?

I don't think removes the ability to have an unload prompt (navigating away will not save your changes are you sure?), it just removes the ability for the page to spam you with a popup in its dying breath.

They can also do what facebook does and just save everything you enter into a text box via ajax, whether you end up actually submitting it or not. /s
