I'm not on my Ubuntu system right now, so I can't check it, but you should be able to run chromium in Kiosk mode. It's a command-line switch "--kiosk". This will disable the address bar for you.

For your reference, here's a full list of Chromium command line switches

To get rid of context menus, use JavaScript on the page to capture the right-click (mouse button 2) and then simply ignore the input.

just tried -kiosk works just fine. – labarna May 3 '12 at 20:03
I am trying to edit the source code to fix it. How I can do it if I edit the source code? – Sanil Joseph May 4 '12 at 16:29
Well, I'd search the source for the code that handles the -kiosk flag and make that the default state. But I have to say, that seems like an odd question for a programmer to ask here. You would likely get a better answer at The Chromuim Project (chromium.org). Just use the Discuss link and ask someone there. – Jim C May 4 '12 at 21:06
