Figure out how to limit our public display's interactive capacity #4

More specifically, we want to be able to make the OS running on the Raspberry Pi kind of just disappear so that it's just a web browser running our forthcoming public display website. This way we can leave a mouse and keyboard connected to the pi and not worry about people doing crazy stuff or screwing with our setup, but they'll still be able to interact with the website.

Yeah, a headless option that boots directly to a fullscreen browser w/ no other OS would work... I have no clue how to do this, but will be happy to look for ideas

we have a couple websites in Counternarratives and we used a setting to prevent people from going to any other site/ leaving the website. I am not 100% sure how they did this because it was not my role in the install but I should be able to find out. Doesn't solve the overall problem but might help as a temporary fix.
