(2023-06-27) Kamil Wachel: very usefull and elegant way to personalise big screen (ultrawide in my case) great !
(2023-06-21) Franck Désert: Hello, I can't get it work as soon as I try in Kiosk mode on edge. I see the overlayed buttons appearing on websites during standard windowed browsing but not in fullscreen kiosk mode. inPrivate autorisation is checked in the extension settings.. I've noticed that in private mode (not necessary kiosk mode), edge tells me that extensions are not available and recent MS doc said "extensions are not yet supported in Microsoft Edge". Should I conclude the extension isn't functional in Edge ?
(2022-08-25) bearcrossing Top: Awesome! Very very usefull.Thank you!
(2022-08-03) Urban: Super usefull and versatile. Thank you very much!
(2021-10-19) larwit: This works as a great replacement for the now unavailable Idle Reset. Has many other options as well, great tool for setting up kiosks.

Hello, I have a computer with touch screen/tablet feature. Among touch screen uses, I read news paper. I can only manage page exclusion with Kiok, while I would like to use the back button only on some specific news paper URLs. Can you please advise if there is a way of doing it ? Thank you

Some sites require a username and password to start, could this already be save or filled out? Is there some other way to do this?
(2023-10-18, v:0.0.0.31) Eric Lefebvre: Can't get navigation buttons to show up
I've got the extension installed and set its setting to allow navigation buttons when opening Chrome with the --kiosk option. When I open the homepage, which is a website with links to a handful of allowed sites, there are no navigation buttons. When I click a link, I still don't see navigation button. I'm hoping to be able to click a link to go to a new page and then have a back button and home button to get back to the homepage.

I have absolutely zero clue how to enable the Kiosk. Please help me
(2023-06-05, v:0.0.0.30) M. M.: Make redirect on errors optional
Currently, on errors a redirect to the homepage is done. This makes sense for most applications. However, because of the following case, I would appreciate it if error redirects could be optionally disabled. In my application, the user has to login to a specific kiosk sub page (NTLM auth). On first access a 401 error is returned and a chrome-based login prompt would be shown. However, because of the error, the extension redirects directly to the homepage without the ability for the user to login.
(2023-05-22, v:0.0.0.29) FL K: Is there a way to allow certain chrome URLS?
I was trying to put "chrome://*" into the allow list, but that did not work... I would love to be able to shut down - ultimately the computer, but in the short term, chrome (as I can monitor for that application running and then trigger the shutdown from there), and things like "chrome://quit" does not seem to work...
(2023-05-17, v:0.0.0.29) bearcrossing Top: Great Extension
I really love this Kiosk extension. But after i while in use i have now the problem, that the kiosk automaticly corrigates the screen zoom from 80% back to 100%. But i really neet the zoom to 80%.Can i disable the zoom intervention in Kiosk?
(2023-05-11, v:0.0.0.29) Fernando Fernandez Dominguez: Home button
Great job! It's a amazing extension. I would like the HOME button or one custom button go to the "real" home, in my chrome config the home button open a new tab -> chorme://newtab/, there are any way to do that?
(2023-04-04, v:0.0.0.29) Julien VEDELAGO MTAG: Not possible to activate extension
Hello, Today, i found your awesome extension. But i can't activate it. I try on edge and chrome with --kiosk command and... nothing. Any idea ?? Thx a lot !!
(2023-03-10, v:0.0.0.28) Kamil Wachel: Navigation buttons: Homepage button -> New Tab
I was trying to find a setting to set homepage button (in navigations buttons) to actually OPEN new tab with desired page. Can you please tell me if that is possible? -------------- Also: Is it possible to make additional buttons in matter of search engines? Example: Search button -> Wikipedia button You click on it, it pop ups text field, you enter what you want to search, click, and it takes you to wikipedia results page. I saw extension that was customisable search engines, but it is only half what i want, allows to shortcut to results page by contex menu.. Merging these functionalities (search engines and navigation buttons) would be SUPREME :)
(2022-12-19, v:0.0.0.25) Pietro Pareo: Symbole werden nicht nebeneinander angezeigt
Hallo, vielen Dank für die App, ich finde sie super. Das einzige Problem ist, dass der vor und zurück Button versetzt dargestellt werden. Wäre super wenn sich das korrigieren lässt. Vielen Dank und viele Grüße
(2022-12-16, v:0.0.0.25) Adam Cook: Configuration file?
Is there a way to configure the extension without using the extension options page. Is there a preference file that can be modified to control the buttons and such.
(2022-10-31, v:0.0.0.25) Thosethingsdad: Auto refresh on idle
Just like the subject says :) If you could add an option in the "Extra Options" section to autoload a defined page after a (selectable) period of inactivity, that would make this extension a complete kiosk package. Thanks :)
(2022-10-28, v:0.0.0.25) Mel Del: unnecessary windows
Hello, please tell me how to disable the opening of browser windows (not tabs, namely windows) that appear when you click on the "share" button and how to make sure that the print window does not appear when you click on the "print" button?
(2022-10-21, v:0.0.0.25) Mel Del: screen keyboard
The problem is that the standard OSK in Windows has features that the user does not need in kiosk mode, such as the ability to close the on-screen keyboard and using keyboard shortcuts that can turn off kiosk mode or any application, please tell me how can this be solved?
(2022-10-20, v:0.0.0.25) Mel Del: screen keyboard
Hello, I really like the application and have excellent functionality, but as a cherry on the cake, there is not enough automatic on-screen keyboard, please tell me how this can be implemented? It's just that most on-screen keyboard extensions either don't work correctly or have extra features that shouldn't be available to the user in kiosk mode. (I can show an extension that has one small but important problem, it does not show drop-down menus of search results on all sites and the keyboard does not appear in all forms.)
(2022-10-20, v:0.0.0.25) Руслан Шафиков: Navigation Buttons
In Google Chrome v.106 navigation buttons are not displayed. Back button and Extra button is displayed only when the page is fully loaded. Is it possible to make it always displayed?

(2022-03-10, v:0.0.0.19) Julian Wright: Remote CSS File
Is it possible to inject a remote CSS file, rather than entering the CSS into the extension options page? I tried using the following CSS rule, but it didn't work: @import url("https://example.com/style.css"); Thanks.

(2021-12-21, v:0.0.0.11) Ben Ashdown: Homepage still refreshes
Hi - if using a PowerApp URL as the homepage and refresh is set, it refreshes the homeage even if selected not to. Is this because of the makeup of a PowerApp URL? e.g. https://apps.powerapps.com/play/4ef9f4cb-81b3-4988-9e3d-94234c33ffb5?tenantId=8289f9c2-a97d-41e3-af8e-34b6f0186406&hidenavbar=true
(2021-12-02, v:0.0.0.10) Stefano L. Paniate: Home, Back and QR Button
Hi! It would be great to be able to change the 'QR Button' text. It would also be great to be able to configure the Home button and the Back button at the same time. Thank you!
