Show a popup modal on page exit using Javascript

Question

Does anyone know if it's possible to show a popup model on page exit(close tab/refresh/go back) with images and text using Javascript/jQuery?

The closest thing I found was beforeunload but it seems to only show an alert prompt with a predefined message.

It's possible, but the user won't see it because the window is closed... — Heretic Monkey, Jul 15 '20 at 13:24
Look for exit intent scripts, they fire upon the mouse leaving the `document` — empiric, Jul 15 '20 at 13:26
That might be a good workaround but that will only detect when the mouse leaves the viewport not when the document is about to be closed. — traderjosh, Jul 15 '20 at 22:52

I don't think modern browsers support a custom message in the beforeunload modal popup. Check this post for a discussion on browser compatibility

Yes, it shows a predefined message by the browser, so I can't use that. – Toxnyc Jul 15 '20 at 17:16
