The Problem: You are importing a massive JavaScript library just to show a simple popup modal.

The Fix: HTML5 now has a native <dialog> element with built-in accessibility and backdrop support.

<dialog id="myDialog">
  <p>This is a native modal!</p>
  <button onclick="document.getElementById('myDialog').close()">Close</button>
</dialog>

<button onclick="document.getElementById('myDialog').showModal()">Open Modal</button>
