xframe_ignore in Kiosk mode #1

Closed guysoft closed 4 years ago

guysoft commented 4 years ago

Hey, I want enable xframe_ignore when in Kiosk mode, the reason is because of a user reporting an issue in my project here https://github.com/guysoft/FullPageOS/issues/308

Do you have a way around that? Since the button is not available in kiosk mode.

xframe_ignore should be used only temporarily and only for developement, testing, or troubleshooting purposes because it disables important browser security mechanisms (see the description of the extension in the Chrome store).

Assuming your project requires a permanent solution, the recommendation is fix your project to no longer need xframe_ignore. Showing a website full-screen should not require iframes and not require bypassing browser security mechanisms.

The bug linked shows that some of the sites listed explicitly reject iframes. xframe_ignore is not designed to disable this security mechanism permanently. Especially when it concerns government websites or login pages.
