    Well , here’s the bitter truth…

    onbeforeunload is fired on page refresh and browser close.

    The onbeforeunload event is fired every time the page is about to unload.

    Which includes

    1. Clicking on a link
    2. Submitting a form
    3. Closing the browser(or tab)
    4. Refreshing the page
