Sorry, that's the way the web was designed to work.

Which is a good enough reason not to use it. You run your programs on
your computer; I will run my programs on my computer. And if I don't
know you, or I've never seen any information about your program; I damn
sure ain't going to run it on my computer.
Client side scripting is, and has always been a bad idea. If it were
more limited on what it could do on someone elses computer, ok, but I
don't want my window resized, I don't want you to take away all the
buttons on the window that I am familiar with and know how to use so
that you can put some buttons in place that I don't know how to use.
Javascript is always off until I know what a page author wants to do
with it (IF I bother to look or care).
