Use that part to fabric your own logout 'popup' page.

This will be a do yourself it solution (praise the lord the authors didn't rewrote the whole part in perl yet ^^ - PHP is sooooooo easy).
Be warned : you will have to add some functions, apply some code changes - and redo these edits when you upgrade.

Only the popup solution could assure a way for the visitor to do so.

If visitors remove the connection, like shutting down the wifi, and you chose a low idle-time out, say 5 minutes, visitors will be removed quickly.

Btw : https://www.test-domaine.fr/munin/brit-hotel-fumel.net/pfsense.brit-hotel-fumel.net/portalusers.html - I'm using 120 minutes idle time out.

These days, everybody has set that option to "off" (you included, apparently) because it can be very annoying.

..... and now you are asking why this browser option ... works well - doesn't work ..... ?

You can't do anything about that - except maybe asking on the captive portal login screen that visitors should re-activate pop ups in their browser, or at that they should at least accept popups from the captive portal IP. ( they won't do so any away - tried that before, and believe me : they just don't).

I had a "final" solution ones : throwing the captive portal login page into a popup. No one could login anymore of course and vocal fallout settled down on my desk. I was answering : "You want to login, ok, you accept popup first" ... When some clients managed to login, by accepting my pop ups, they did receive the logout pop up !

I advise you not to do the same thing, except if your are willing to see any angry visitors.
A pop up to logout is a nice thing to have - but it exists merely in theory, not in the reality.
