 Sometimes the browser will display an unwanted confirmation dialog when
 the user is previewing multiple themes in succession.

 Steps to reproduce:

 1. Browse to any site
 1. Browse to another site that uses the same theme
 1. Browse to a site that uses a different theme

 The action at step `2` will trigger an input field in the Customizer to
 change, so when you try to browse to to a different URL at step `3`, the
 browser thinks you've left a form partially filled-out, and warns you that
 you'll lose the entered values. That's technically true, but not
 applicable in this context.

 IIRC, Core has some code to get around the same issue, maybe in the Theme
 Switcher.
