In a Web context, this can't be done reliably, in any browser (but read
on).

IE on Windows. PC refers to the hardware, not the OS.

Firefox is free software (as in freedom, or what some give the confusing
label "open source"), so you could always make a custom version and
disable it there, as well as other undesired traces of Web browser
appearance, then use that to launch this application thing. Or you could
even write your own shell around the Gecko rendering engine.
