Chrome Kiosk Mode and Revolving Tabs

TIL you can use Chrome to open multiple tabs in kiosk (no menu, no UI mode).

On macOS you can launch it with the —kiosk flag and then follow it with any number of --app arguments for the tabs. Combine this with an extension like Revolver or TabCarousel and you’ve got a super simple and quick status page rotation setup.

If my particular case I’m running it on a separate old Mac mini:

ssh user@IP

screen

/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --kiosk --app "https://mcjones.ca" --app "https://chealion.ca"
