Modern browsers try to protect themselves from rogue scripts and so restrict closing via a script.

> Hi, I show a node-red dashboard working on a thin client from a browser window on a control system. Stupidly I can not leave node-red window any more, there is no close button. Therfore I want to install a button in my dashboard to close the node-red window. (I don't want to stop node-red only want to close the window). I tried with an execute node and CTR + F4 but it does not work. Have you any idea how to solve this? Thanks for your help in advance Tim
