A user that wants to enable it again, will find a way. There's no way
to absolutely prevent it.
As far as I know, Opera allows for the contextmenu event to be enabled
(wasn't by default last time I checked) but doesn't allow to stop the
event.
You can however consider the following:
- If you're trying to protect images from being downloaded through the
contextmenu, just make them a CSS background instead of an <img>. This
method is on par with disabling the contextmenu (except that the
context menu will still show).
- Otherwise you can overlay a div on top of the part of the page
you're trying to disable it on and capture the mouseclick events on
the element.
All I can say is that the few sites I've come across that intercepted
the contextmenu event will never get a visit from me again. It's
annoying to say the least and I don't understand why anyone would do
it. If you want to protect images or files, watermark them in some
way, a much better and more secure method anyway.

Are there still browsers that don't support the contextmenu event

You can using Event.observe()
Event.observe(window, 'contextmenu', function(event) {
event.stop();
});
