Summary
A Google Chrome Extension to automatically close Kiosk mode when any window navigates to exitkiosk. Based on the "openkiosk" extension, this extension fixes an issue with that extension so that it will work with kiosk apps opened using the chrome -kiosk flag. This application is intended for use by Kiosk-Mode applications which need to be able to close back to the desktop.
Closes any window (tab) in chrome which contains the characters: 'exitkiosk'. Note that this may interfere with general web browsing. Although it's unlikely any page will contain these characters.
If you are the creator of a kiosk product then this extension may be useful to you as self.close() will not shut the kiosk.
Install this extension and then launch your kiosk app with a shortcut:
(Windows) "C:\Users*user*\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe --kiosk http://localhost/"
If there are no other chrome windows, the page will be launched as kiosk mode. To shut your kiosk mode full screen app, call:
javascript:location.href = 'http://exitkiosk';
