I think that anything that changes the expected functionality of a browser is a bad idea, and only going to lead to frustration. I'd also like to add automatic resizing of the user's browser to that list. I've come across many websites that feel the need to maximise my browser window to display a site that is less than 800 pixels wide. On a 1680 pixel-wide screen, this tends to look quite silly and unnecessary. I suspect that most users are more than capable of resizing their browser windows as necessary. I also think it feels very intrusive, especially if I have already have other tabs open that most definitely don't need resizing. It's my browser, not yours! Ditto on every one of those.
