MacOS Google Chrome – Setting up Kiosk Mode for Web Page

google-chromemacos

I have to let members of the public use my laptop to access a member signup web page at a student fair in a couple of weeks.

Chrome doesn't have kiosk mode on Mac, is it possible to disable CMD+Q, prevent the title bar from showing up etc..?

Is there software designed for this?

Any other advice?

There's a plugin called Saft which enables kiosk mode in Safari. (Saft has been discontinued as of late 2012; it doesn't work beyond Safari 5.0.5.) If the computer is being used in public, create a new guest user in the system preferences and use this one for the fair. Even if somebody breaks out of the kiosk mode, they can't see your private data or mess anything up.

If you want to stay with Chrome, there's an AppleScript on Superuser, to launch Chrome in kiosk mode.
