When editing homebrew content (e.g. creating a new spell), I have accidentally pressed the back button on my browser, thinking it was another tab/window, thus losing everything I had been working on for almost an hour. This has happened to me a few times since I started creating content on D&D Beyond a few months ago, and I can't be the only distracted person who has seen work destroyed by this kind of distraction.
I request a "Are you sure you wan to leave this page" warning when you press the back or forward button on your browser. :P
Yes please. I just had this happen yesterday when I was nearly done filling in everything for a monster I was making for a session that night, and then when I pressed backspace - intending to backspace on the textbox I thought I had clicked - it was not in a textbox, and so instead went back in the browser. I lost everything I had worked on. :( Thankfully my memory served me well and I was able to rush to throw it back together, but a confirmation dialogue when on a 'working' page for homebrew would be a wonderful feature.

Yes! This would be a great addition to help save progress!
