Google Chrome frameless (like kiosk) - google-chrome

Question

I want know if is it possible to make Google Chrome behave like a kiosk (without a frame or controls) but not in full screen, like the next mock picture:

Answer 1

My solution in Electron:
var app = require('app'); // Module to control application life.
var BrowserWindow = require('browser-window'); // Module to create native browser window.
// Keep a global reference of the window object, if you don't, the window will
// be closed automatically when the JavaScript object is GCed.
var mainWindow = null;
// This method will be called when Electron has finished
// initialization and is ready to create browser windows.
app.on('ready', function() {
// Create the browser window.
mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({width: 800, height: 600, frame:false});
// and load the index.html of the app.
mainWindow.loadURL('http://www.google.com/');
// Emitted when the window is closed.
mainWindow.on('closed', function() {
// Dereference the window object, usually you would store windows
// in an array if your app supports multi windows, this is the time
// when you should delete the corresponding element.
mainWindow = null;
});
});

I do not think that it's possible to make Chrome itself behave that way, but a Chrome App (not an extension) can do this.
This is an option in window creation:
chrome.app.window.create("app.html", {
frame: "none"
});
Note that you will have to provide your own controls to close/move the window.
To make it behave like a browser, you'll need to embed a <webview> element. See also a browser app example.
However, note that Chrome Apps are being deprecated.
You should consider using a similar platform, like Electron or NW.js, to build your own "mini-browser" for your purpose.
