I've never been a big user of chrome, perhaps I've always found FireFox to meet my needs - and I'm a rather loyal guy. I still remember the excitement of FireFox going 1.0.
With my current job I'm tasked with Web Development and use Chrome for all my development. I decided to use Chrome for my digital sign and was rather excitedto come across the --kiosk switch. This allows me to start Chrome in full screen mode each time, perfect.
Well that was until this weekend when I discovered the switch stopped working. That sucks.
I was frustrated as hell as Chrome has really good HTML5 support, another reason I was excited to use it for my new sign. But without the kiosk mode, it was useless.
Along came Opera:
To my great excitement Opera not only has a kiosk mode that works, but it has all the required switches one needs for various environments. Yeah for Opera and it works 100%.
I will post about my netbook install and how I did it later on. For some FYI its an Asus ZG5 running debian with a basic X-Windows install.
