Default Removing broswer controls

I have been asked to produce a screen flow; but the client wants to remove the browser controls.

I have pointed out a few times that this is just plain bad practice, but they are yet to be convinced.

One thing I want in my "this is stupid" gun is a bullet with DDA on it.

So my question is this: does removing the browser control contravene DDA in any way ?

Thanks,

I would have thought so yes, as if you remove the option to be able to press buttons, there might be something up there they need

t0 be honest I cant give a definitive answer. but I am trying to answer as I would see it.
