Launching Google Chrome/Opera in Kiosk Mode

Question

I am trying to create a desktop shortcut to launch Chrome or Opera in Kiosk Mode and to a specific URL. I've tried adjusting the target to include /KioskMode after chrome.exe.

Does anyone know the general format? I think I can access the directory properly because the shortcut launches the browser, so I just need to know how to launch in Kiosk to a particular URL. This is in Windows.

Solution 1

For Opera:

• Windows: C:\Program Files\Opera\opera.exe /KioskMode
• UNIX: opera -kioskmode
• Mac: Applications/Opera.app/Contents/MacOS/Opera -kioskmode

and for more explanation: some Opera documentation about kioks mode

Solution 2

(in addition to ytg's answer)

If you add your desired website URL after /kioskmode, that site will be launched in kiosk mode

C:\Program Files\Opera\opera.exe /KioskMode www.google.de

Opera Chromium seems to have removed the kioskmode on OSX and Chrome never enabled it on OSX.

-kioskmode is not working on Linux with version 47.0.2631.39. Neither is other flags, such as -fullscreen.
