FIxed bars and JS pop-ups are the window pop-ups of the 90's and really I'm just waiting for someone to make a chrome extension that takes care of 'em in the same way.

The only real issue is that mobile browsers don't allow extensions of any kind (at least the ones I've used don't). So there is no real way to add such customizations to mobile browsers, and we're left hoping they go mainstream enough that someone either creates a browser around that feature (ie useragent switch, which is kind of annoying to use because it means copying the url and switching apps), or a dev in a mainstream browser makes it their weekend project. Neither one of these options is ideal, in the first you're left with a bunch of browsers that do one thing, in the latter you're going to end up with a feature that will slowly stop working as the dev's main work builds and his manager tells him to drop it.
