I don't even want my browser to have a 'local file context', is there a way to switch such behavior off entirely until explicit permission is given?

All these extra bells and whistles added to browsers to allow websites to pretend they're 'native apps' should require a very large switch to be thrown from 'safe' to 'unsafe' whenever an application requests such a thing. And what a pdf reader has to do with javascript is a mystery as well. Systems that are too complex are almost by definition insecure.
