How to display a website in kiosk mode or full screen on a Windows PC
Anyone who wants to display a website in full-screen mode on a Windows PC, for example, for information terminals, visitor displays, or digital signage, quickly encounters the problem that conventional browsers like Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge are not ideal for this. While these browsers offer a kiosk or full-screen mode, it is usually insufficient in terms of data protection, user security, and system security.
