Hexnode Kiosk Browser

What it is
Hexnode Kiosk Browser lets organizations limit browsing to approved websites and web apps on devices locked in kiosk mode. Administrators can allowlist or blacklist URLs, and sites outside a configured allowlist are blocked. Web apps and URL rules can be configured remotely through Hexnode UEM. On Android, the browser offers single-tab and multi-tab modes; single-tab mode hides the address bar and prevents switching between tabs. Administrators can configure full-screen display, toolbar and appearance, scheduled web app refresh, JavaScript, media, browsing history, location services, and forms, or disable hardware and software keys. Hexnode also provides a native kiosk browser for supervised iPhones and iPads, plus website kiosk support for specified Windows editions. Android Kiosk Browser APKs support Android 8 and above, while the documented tab features support Android 5.0 and above; Android TV OS is unsupported. Plans start at $2.20 a month, billed starting with 15 devices, and a 14-day trial is available.
