Major Limitations of the browser

Im currently building a web application that works more like an application on your computer than it does one on the web.

We all know that everything is going there, but there are currently a lot of major limitations in the browser that are holding it back from coming quicker than it could.

First: I know a lot of this poses security problems, but ignore that for a second.

Id like to be able to:

1. • Ask the user if they would like to save before closing the window (and even allow them to cancel)
2. • Add menu items, or control the file menu.
3. • Customize the contextual menu system
4. • remove the address (and others) bar to control the look of the entire page.

But maybe, just maybe, I need to stop making an application on the web, and go back to making a web application.
