Using whitelist to restrict browsing but allow embedded video

Hello,
I am trying to set up a simple Kiosk that allows users to browse a live website that heavily uses youtube embeds. However we don't want users leaving to youtube. If I use whitelist to prevent browsing elsewhere it blocks the embeds and if I don't people can click through to youtube.
Any help is welcome.

Hi Jojamoco,
Which browser are you using?
Can you post an URL to your website so i could test this on my kiosk?
BTW: i have deleted your other thread as it has very similar query.

Hello,
First off sorry for the double post I didn't see the message about posts being approved and made a new one thinking I had made a mistake somehow.
The website is
https://www.cahfa.com/en-us/
I think I defaulted to using chrome but I am happy to use firefox if that works better/differently./ I was thinking of switching anyway because of the option to hide the navigation stuff.
Thanks

Hi Jojamoco,
This is what works for me (only first embedded video is whitelisted in sample below):
Code: Select all
whitelist=cahfa.com https://www.youtube.com/embed/aokMLRkrJ-I
You can find other video URLs by inspecting the html source code of your webpage.
Thanks

I will do that, but if there is a way to make the whitelist only check when a new page is called then I won't need to update everytime the website gets a new video.
For now though this will work. Thank you for all you time/work

For Firefox this should work to allow all embedded videos:
Code: Select all
whitelist=cahfa.com https://www.youtube.com/embed/
This trick may not work for Chrome (did not check).

Is it possible to edit the whitelist or do I do a fresh install?
