Well, if the menu items do not open the link in the system installed
browser it's responsibility of the user to write char after char the
url in the browser address bar.

That menu doesn't annoy anyone if it's not clicked. It resided there
in the menu bar and doesn't popup. If the user wants to see it it's up
to him to click it and show its content. No one is bothered.
