 But I am still not sure what exactly is causing the prompts in these
 cases. On the FoxyProxy page that is probably due to Modernizr which
 checks browser features. But even there a cursory glimpse at the source
 code did not convince me that this is not a false positive. I don't have a
 clue why the prompt is shown on foundation.zurb.com yet.
