Detect if an alert or confirm is displayed on a page

Question

Is there a way using JavaScript or jQuery to detect if a confirm or alert box is being displayed?

To add to @user113716's answer you can rely on time. I assume that if confirm dialog took less than 200 ms, it is blocked by browser. Below I return true if confirm dialog is blocked (by default it returns false, the code is in TypeScript).

    let oldConfirm = window.confirm;
    window.confirm = (msg) => {
        let time = new Date().getTime();
        let conf = oldConfirm(msg);

        return new Date().getTime() - time > 200 ? conf : true;
    }
