Do your web pages:

1. instruct users on how to bookmark them or give them a special tool
for that?

2. instruct users on how to print them or give them a special tool for that?

3. instruct users on how to change the font size or give them a special
tool for that?

4. instruct users on how to change the width and height of their
browsers or give them a special tool for that?

5. instruct users on how to close their browsers or give them a special
tool for that?

6. etc.

If one frets enough about those features that are present in every
modern browser but that you think your users can't be expected to know
about, one can really kill your page design and obfuscate one's
presentation by replicating them.
