That's the same question, isn't it? YOU, as a user, control the appearance, to some extent, or your personal browser. That's as it should be. So, yes, you can turn off the various toolbar options using the "View" menu.
However, you, as a developer, cannot force the browser of the people who visit your page, to turn toolbars on or off, except under certain circumstances, namely, if you open a new window via a script (search for "window.open()" on the web). In that case, you can control whether or not the toolbar, resize widgets, and scrollbars appear on the new window.
