Exit Safeguard (deprecated)
The Exit Safeguard view is used as a confirmation message that is activated when the user closes a browser window or tab. This view can be used to prompt the user that they are about the close a window or tab. Note: To combat unwanted pop-ups, some browsers may not display prompts created in beforeunload event handlers unless the page has been interacted with; this is currently true for FireFox. If a user never interacts with a page, the browser does not display the confirmation message.

null
Challenge on exit by default: When true a challenge is presented to the user if they attempt to close the browser window Boolean
