Describe testing beforeunload in alerts.en.md

Motivation and Context

I'm working on upgrading the driver used by a test suite and it took me a long time to discover this information.

Types of changes

• [?] Change to the site (I have double-checked the Netlify deployment, and my changes look good)
  • I'm not sure if this counts as a "change to the site"
• Code example added (and I also added the example to all translated languages)
  • I don't think this is applicable.
• Improved translation
• [?] Added new translation (and I also added a notice to each document missing translation)
  • I'm not sure if this applies. I added new content in English and did not translate it, and I did not add any notices about missing translations.

Checklist

• I have read the contributing document.
• I have used hugo to render the site/docs locally and I am sure it works.
  • To be honest I haven't.
• Sign the CLA
  • I'm willing to sign the CLA but I don't know how. Signed.

PR Reviewer Guide 🔍

Here are some key observations to aid the review process:

⏱️ Estimated effort to review: 1 🔵⚪⚪⚪⚪

🧪 No relevant tests

🔒 No security concerns identified

⚡ Recommended focus areas for review Version Specificity The documentation uses approximate version numbers and dates. Consider adding more precise information about when these changes were implemented, if available, to help users troubleshoot version-specific issues. Drivers released in approximately 2024 and later automatically dismiss beforeunload prompts by default. If the old behavior is needed, [enable bidi]({{< ref "../bidi/" >}}). NOTE: ChromeDriver still dismisses prompts unless `options.unhandled_prompt_behavior = 'ignore'` is also specified, in addition to enabling bidi (as recently as version 134 or later). NOTE: ChromeDriver implemented automatically dismissing beforeunload prompts in approximately version 126 but enabling bidi had no effect on beforeunload prompts until approximately version 133.

PR Code Suggestions ✨

Explore these optional code suggestions:

Category	Suggestion	Impact
General	Add implementation example Provide a code example showing how to set the unhandled_prompt_behavior option to 'ignore'. This would make the documentation more actionable for users who need to implement this configuration. website_and_docs/content/documentation/webdriver/interactions/alerts.en.md [184] -NOTE: ChromeDriver still dismisses prompts unless `options.unhandled_prompt_behavior = 'ignore'` is also specified, in addition to enabling bidi (as recently as version 134 or later). +NOTE: ChromeDriver still dismisses prompts unless `options.unhandled_prompt_behavior = 'ignore'` is also specified, in addition to enabling bidi (as recently as version 134 or later). For example: +```python +from selenium import webdriver +options = webdriver.ChromeOptions() +options.unhandled_prompt_behavior = 'ignore' +driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options) +``` Apply this suggestion Suggestion importance[1-10]: 8 __ Why: Adding a concrete code example significantly enhances the documentation by showing users exactly how to implement the described configuration. This transforms abstract instructions into actionable code, making it much easier for users to apply the solution in their own projects.	Medium
	Clarify expected behavior Provide more specific information about what the "old behavior" is, to make it clear what happens when bidi is enabled. This helps users understand exactly what to expect. website_and_docs/content/documentation/webdriver/interactions/alerts.en.md [182] -Drivers released in approximately 2024 and later automatically dismiss beforeunload prompts by default. If the old behavior is needed, [enable bidi]({{< ref "../bidi/" >}}). +Drivers released in approximately 2024 and later automatically dismiss beforeunload prompts by default. If the old behavior (where beforeunload prompts are shown to the user) is needed, [enable bidi]({{< ref "../bidi/" >}}). Apply this suggestion Suggestion importance[1-10]: 7 __ Why: The suggestion improves clarity by explicitly stating what the "old behavior" means (showing prompts to users). This enhancement makes the documentation more user-friendly and reduces potential confusion about what happens when bidi is enabled.	Medium
