Replace Rails confirm with sweetalert2 popup. (https://github.com/limonte/sweetalert2). It overrides the default javascript (from jquery_ujs), which skips any other popup.

rails_confirm_override.js.coffee

$.rails.allowAction = (link) ->
  if link.data('confirm')
    $.rails.showConfirmationDialog(link)
    false
  else
    true

# User click confirm button
$.rails.confirmed = (link) ->
  link.data('confirm', null)
  link.trigger('click')

# Display the confirmation dialog
$.rails.showConfirmationDialog = (link) ->
  message = link.data('confirm')
  title = link.data('title') || 'Warning'

  swal {
    title: title
    text:  message
    type: 'warning'
    showCancelButton: true
    confirmButtonColor: '#3085d6'
    cancelButtonColor: '#d33'
    confirmButtonText: 'Yes, delete it!'
    closeOnConfirm: false
  }, ->
    swal 'Deleted!', 'Record deleted successfully', 'success'
    $.rails.confirmed(link)
