How to accept or deny JavaScript confirmation dialogs in Capybara/Selenium

These methods are available to you:

page.driver.browser.switch_to.alert.accept
page.driver.browser.switch_to.alert.dismiss
page.driver.browser.switch_to.alert.text # the confirmation text

Spreewald Show archive.org snapshot gives you steps like these:

When I confirm the browser dialog
When I cancel the browser dialog

Note that recent versions of Selenium will automatically dismiss confirmation dialogs. Here is how to fix that.
