The kind of mitigation we are discussing is valuable to reduce the effectiveness of JavaScript dialogs as part of this, but I’m sure the folks perpetrating fraud will find new effective ways to do so. For example, nothing in browser technology can prevent a webpage from displaying a misleading message that tries to trick you into thinking your device is broken or was taken over.
