It will be nice to have the
flexibility to disable the functions that are not needed (or even
bothersome) for some applications.

Never going to happen! Here's why... Allowing the application to control
the browser is exactly what IE allowed in the early days with HTA,
ActiveX, behaviours, ie-specific JavaScript, etc. They "allowed" the web
application to have greater control over the browser. The result??? Huge
uproar about how misbehaving applications could take control of the
browser! The browser is sand-boxed for a reason, and I don't see it
changing anytime soon.
