Chrome with Adblocking & Adult Content Filtering

[MotherLizard]

Just finished setting up Porteus Kiosk Cloud for a computer lab for the homeless and thought I'd share my Chrome configuration file.

The configuration below installs the Adblocking extension UblockOrigin and the encryption security extension HTTPS Everywhere. DownloadRestictions:1 Blocks Dangerous downloads. (You can use 2 to be even more strict or 3 to block downloads entirely.) ForceGoogleSafeSearch is self explanatory. SafeSitesFilterBehavior sets Adult Content filtering. I also set DNS settings to use CleanBrowsing's Family free DNS service for another layer of adult content blocking. Another free alternative is OpenDSN Family Shield.

Code: Select all

"DownloadRestrictions": 1,
"ForceGoogleSafeSearch": true,
"SafeSitesFilterBehavior": 1,
"ForceYouTubeRestrict": 1,
// Install Ublock and HTTPS Everywhere extensions (cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm), add it to existing extensions like Google Docs and Youtube:
"ExtensionInstallWhitelist": [ "cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm", "gcbommkclmclpchllfjekcdonpmejbdp", "aapocclcgogkmnckokdopfmhonfmgoek", "aohghmighlieiainnegkcijnfilokake", "apdfllckaahabafndbhieahigkjlhalf", "blpcfgokakmgnkcojhhkbfbldkacnbeo", "felcaaldnbdncclmgdcncolpebgiejap", "pjkljhegncpnkpknbcohdijeoejaedia",],

Hi MotherLizard,

I got few requests about this topic already so now i can point the users to your tutorial here
Made it sticky.


Thank you for sharing!

where do you make the changes? where in config file? running desktop Kiosk mode.

tlab11,

You need to include all Chrome policies in a separate file and link to it in the 'browser_preferences=' parameter:
https://porteus-kiosk.org/parameters.ht ... references

Thanks

I have now also understood and achieved my goal.
Content of my chrome-policy.txt for loading the "Ignore X-Frame headers" extension: "gleekbfjekiniecknbkamfmkohkpodhe"

Code: Select all

"ExtensionInstallAllowlist": [ "pflmllfnnabikmfkkaddkoolinlfninn", "gleekbfjekiniecknbkamfmkohkpodhe","aapocclcgogkmnckokdopfmhonfmgoek", "aohghmighlieiainnegkcijnfilokake", "apdfllckaahabafndbhieahigkjlhalf", "blpcfgokakmgnkcojhhkbfbldkacnbeo", "felcaaldnbdncclmgdcncolpebgiejap", "pjkljhegncpnkpknbcohdijeoejaedia",],
"ExtensionInstallForcelist": [ "pflmllfnnabikmfkkaddkoolinlfninn", "gleekbfjekiniecknbkamfmkohkpodhe;https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx",],

And loading the policies in the central configuration file:

Code: Select all

browser_preferences=https://myweb.com/kiosks/chrome-policies.txt
browser=chrome
disable_private_mode=yes
disable_navigation_bar=yes
disable_address_bar
