Kiosk mode added in Chromium nightly build

Filed under: , , , ,

Developers have a number of features they still want implemented in Google Chrome. In a recent nightly build of Chromium, one that I’ve seen requested numerous times on the official mailing lists has finally landed.

Kiosk mode has arrived in Chromium, though it’s an awful lot like full screen mode. In fact, Mohamed Mansour says as much in his note on the source: “Kiosk mode will just hide the status bar and initially set it as full screen. “

You’re left to your new tab page and bookmarks bar to navigate. As in full screen mode, control-L doesn’t bring up an address bar, nor does hovering near the top edge of the browser. That’s something I’d like to see addressed in future builds.

If you’ve been waiting to see what kiosk mode in Chrome would look like, grab a current build from the Chromium server and append the –kiosk command line switch.
