Modal browser window for web URL needs close / cancel button

I did something dumb because I hadn't downloaded any mods from Nexus since before the last website redesign or two. Then Vortex did something dumb in response :)

 

On the download page for Fallout 4 mod CCO Saucy Settlers there is no Vortex button because there is a choice between two versions of the mod. You get to the choice by clicking the ( Manual ) button.

 

I pasted the (Manual) button's URL into Vortex, after which it popped up a browser window showing the choice page with an ad (so I wasn't logged in in that window) and more important, *no obvious way to close that modal window* . The window was missing the standard Windows corner [x] to close it, and there was also no CANCEL button on the frame around the web page.

 

Since it's a modal window you also can't switch back to the main Vortex window. I ended up right-clicking on Vortex in the task bar to close it.

If I simply left click outside that browser modal, it closes it for me.

Interesting, I thought I tried that, but perhaps I clicked on the "wrong part" of outside.

 

I'll still argue the UI would be improved with some visible way to close it instead of relying on a click, like the X used for image popups in most web UIs, or an X on the frame itself like with standard Windows windows, or a big CANCEL button to tell Vortex that you've changed your mind about using this URL.
