If you’re intending to use Chrome kiosk mode (read this article on how to achieve this) then it’s a must to disable the Chrome Developer tool as this is not disabled by default in Chrome.
What is the Chrome Developer tool?
This is a useful built in tool in Chrome used by developer to debug, troubleshoot webpage issues. If you want to use this feature all you have to do is press F12 or Control – Shift – J or click on the Settings Icon at the top right hand corner (3 lines) then more tools and then select developer tools.
How do I disable this feature?
To disable this feature when using Chrome Kiosk Mode all you have to do is add the following lines in your Chrome Preferences file.
Edit the file C:\users\[your users account]\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Preferences
Find the section with devtools and add the line “disabled”:true,
See below for example
"devtools": {
"dock_side": "undocked",
"disabled": true,
"split_location": 529
},Save the file and restart chrome. Test by pressing F12 and you will noticed that the Developer tool options will not be displayed.
