The Continue the work of your browser PopUp is a browser advertisement that extension developers are using to push unwanted Chrome extensions onto visitors. When visitors see this advertisement, they will be shown an error message that indicates that the visitor must install the promoted extension or they will lose their work. If a user tries to close the browser, various alerts will make it difficult to do so.
