ChromeDriver no longer throws UnhandledAlertException on system alerts

Reported by john...@gmail.com, Jul 27 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/52.0.2743.82 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Run a Selenium test which causes a system alert to be displayed (ChromeDriver 2.19.0.0)
2. previous version used to report an UnhandledAlertException, which could be caught and handled
3. Current version does not throw exceptions, which causes test execution to stop

What is the expected behavior?
UnhandledAlertException should be thrown.

What went wrong?
A system alert was displayed, but the UnhandledAlertException was not thrown by ChromeDriver (2.19.0.0)

Did this work before? Yes Not exactly sure - may have been 51.0.2704. Should have recorded the delta...

I have the same issue with Selenium (2.53.1) and ChromeDriver 2.22 and 2.23. ChromeDriver 2.22 is worse because then I get the "developer mode extension warning."

Selenium 2.53.1 and ChromeDriver 2.22 did fix the issue for me. However, it was hard to tell that webdriver-manager was running the right versions. Even after updating both softwares, you still must specify the version to run with:

```
 webdriver-manager start --versions.standalone="2.53.1" --versions.chrome="2.22"
```
Status: WontFix (was: Unconfirmed)
Original issue of 'UnhandledAlertException not being thrown' is no longer reproducible on the latest Chrome v54.0.2840.100 and Chromedriver v2.25

'developer mode extensions' pop up issue was fixed in http://crrev.com/596ca47395e0ead2693f84c2483446627c29960e. More details at  issue chromedriver:1460 

Closing this issue. Please feel free to file a new bug if you encounter any problem in Chromedriver.
