What exactly does kiosk: true in the BrowserWindow config of a new ElectronJS window do?
The documentation just states that the parameter indicates, that the window is in 'kiosk' mode. I was unable to find information on what this means.
Basically, Kiosk mode is a Windows operating system (OS) feature that only allows one application to run. Kiosk mode is a common way to lock down a Windows device when that device is used for a specific task or used in a public setting.
So in electron kiosk mode, we'd have the ability to lock down our application to a point that users are restricted to the actions that we want them to perform. Also, the browser would merely act as our canvas with exactly defined capabilities and doesn't get into our way. And this is why you want to use Electron!
