Jquery: window.unload not working with chrome 72.0.3626.109

I am creating a web app using asp.net mvc. I want to detect a manual refresh by a user,

but I am not able to get the following events

1: beforeunload

2: unload

the following way I Tried

1

$(window).on('beforeunload', function () {
    pageCleanup();
});

2

$(window).on("unload", function () {
    pageCleanup();
});

function pageCleanup() {  
    alert(1)
}

3

window.addEventListener("unload", logData);

function logData() {
    alert(1)
}

4

$(window).unload(function () {
    alert('1');
});

the above is an example with alert, I want to have an ajax call in unload function

but none of these seems to execute when a user press any kind of refresh(F5, ctrl-shift-R, ctrl-R, from url tab)

what should I try now?

You should use bind for beforeunload: 

$(window).bind("beforeunload", () => alert(1));
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.js"></script>
