Makes me think of full-screen kiosks.

The window manager controls the window decorations, which will also get
in your way. I use ion2, which doesn't ever have borders on windows...
but doesn't usually allow overlapping windows anyway. If this is
something that you want to do that is not part of a daily flow of things
you could one-up that even and just run X without a window manager.

You'll still have to convince your browser to run in no-menubar mode.
