URL's able to hijack the browser using fullscreen

Reported by not...@gmail.com, Apr 27 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.81 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. I'm not sure if i should post the hijjacking link directly, so i've pasted it on pastebin(be careful): https://pastebin.com/f4645ZYQ

What is the expected behavior?
Being able to prevent further dialogs.

What went wrong?
The page keeps automatically going out and in fullscreen preventing the user from closing the tab and the extension add message and is also preventing users from reliably disabling dialog messages due to spamming extension add.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 58.0.3029.81  Channel: stable

Hmm, it must've been added to google's safe browsing(and the web server is actually gone too). I should've recorded what happened. For now it seems i cannot reproduce it anymore at the moment.

Basically what it did was keep spamming dialog boxes, and when you wanted to click "Prevent this page from creating any more dialog boxes" it popped in the "Add Extension" window while going in and out of fullscreen automatically(without consent), and that in the same loop over and over again. Not even Alt+F4 worked because it popped in the "Do you want to leave this site" window, which was being overridden by the forced add extension window every time i wanted to confirm.

notcyf@: Did the extension install prompt show up when the page went fullscreen? That should be fixed with the follow up work to  bug 488143 .

I don't think there is any omnibox bug here, the "Dangerous" prompt is displayed because the site is caught by SafeBrowsing.

@notcyf-- Could you please respond to comment #8 and update the thread with your observations.

Thanks!
notcyf@, are you still seeing this issue?  And did the extension install prompt show up when the page went fullscreen?

I've seen the issue again in several forms that I had to be agile to be
able to click the tab away. I haven't been able to record any of it because
they disguise themselves as ads.
