Using a chrome application on a Chromebox that displays a web page in Kiosk mode, the URL is not found in enterprise because the proxy settings are not taken into account. It works fine in regular browser without kiosk mode.
I may have missed a configuration step ?
Or is it possible in the application code to specify / force the usage of a proxy ?
(Can be tested with 'Kiosk' application : https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/kiosk/afhcomalholahplbjhnmahkoekoijban)
You may refer on this related thread. According to this support page, apps can't be added as kiosk apps when they are published privately. Just make sure that you're following the steps outlined here and here to enable Kiosk mode correctly.

In developing our passkey integration I'm encountering unusual behavior in Chrome on Windows.
On my PC, when I register a new physical key I see this Windows dialog.
When I enable the virtual authenticator environment in the Chrome Dev Tools I get this Chrome dialog instead.
However, someone testing the application for me on another PC, without using the virtual authenticator environment, gets the Windows dialog first. If they click Cancel in the Windows dialog, then they get the Chrome dialog.
Is there anything I can do to nudge the browser towards delivering a more consistent experience? I'd rather always show the Chrome dialog if possible.
For reference, this is the virtual authenticator environment in the Chrome Dev Tools:
The problem is that lots of enterprise users have to use a physical security key one or more times a day. So there's a strong desire not to put extra clicks in their way and thus to jump directly to the Windows system UI. But the Windows UI doesn't support using phones as authenticators, so sometimes the browser UI is needed as hitting escape is quite non-discoverable.
Quite how that balance is struck has varied over time and might change again in the future. You can see the current logic here if you want to craft requests that trigger the browser UI. But the intent is that sites should do the obvious thing and the UI should be fairly reasonable.
I have a requirement to make Chrome the default browser in the work profile created with Android Management API. Currently the chrome app gets installed in the profile automatically on work profile provisioning. But it is not made the default app.
I have looked though the https://developers.google.com/android/management/reference/rest/v1/enterprises.policies document but have not come across any such settings.
Any guidance on how to achieve this would be appreciated.
Thanks
Persistent preferred activity management can be used to set up your default browser but unfortunately there is a related internal bug with the said functionality
Build a site and using IsMobileDevice.
But how can I test without publish my site and browse to it with my mobile?
Have tried http://www.responsinator.com/ and others and it only looks at size.
Any ideas?
You can use Ripple Emulator or you can use the User Agent Override feature of Chrome Developer Tools to change your user agent. You can also find many other Chrome or Firefox extensions which help you change your user agent. IsMobileDevice works by checking the user agent, so this should help you get what you want.
I am working on an intranet website within a corporate company where there is the Internet Explorer 8 (running on Windows XP, so cannot upgrade to IE9) used as a standard (and the only one) browser and I am dealing with the Compatibility View Mode feature. The website is based on ASP.NET 2.0 and the web server is Windows Server 2003 with IIS6.
It is not possible to switch to any other browser because some other critical third party web based applications require Internet Explorer (and ActiveX) to run properly.
I would like to ask whether there is a way how to (programmaticaly, using a http header ...) override the Internet Explorer's browser mode in case the Compatibility View Mode is turned on for Intranet websites by default or, in other words, how to force the Internet Explorer to use the IE8 Browser Mode rather than the IE8 Compatibility Mode.
I have tried to add the X-UA-Compatible http header set to IE=Edge (or IE=8) in the IIS configuration but it only affects the Document Mode, never the Browser Mode.
Thanks for any help.
Browser mode refers to the user-agent string and, IIRC, it controls the UA string that's sent to a server during HTTP negotiation. The only documented way to control that is to use the F12 developer tools.
You may want to look at Enterprise Mode[1] (EMIE), supported for Win 7 and later. When EMIE is enabled for IE, IE11 behaves and acts like IE8. This includes the UA String.
You are correct, x-ua-compatible controls only the document mode. There was a feature control key (FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION [2]) that might've helped, but it's unclear whether that's still supported in current versions of IE. (See the Extensibility Improvements link on that page for technical details.)
Hope this helps...

I have an HTML5 application that requires offline support. For running the application, I use a local Apache server. I am trying to figure out what the best way is to simulate offline mode.
Currently, in Firefox I disable my Air-Port to simulate offline mode, but this is a pain.
Any suggestions? I am open to using other browsers, if a method exists that doesn't require turning off my Internet.
For Firefox
☰ (hamburger menu)->More->Work Offline
Google Chrome doesn't appear to have this feature
Edit:
Also, another alternative is slightly more time-consuming to setup in the beginning but might be worth it. For Firefox/Chrome there should be proxy plugins, set up a fake/bad profile for each so that you proxy to something that doesn't exist... like 127.0.0.20:8080. After that you can switch the proxy setting on and off to emulate a full-stack test.
The other answers are out of date. The only place this appears in Firefox v92 is under
File > Work Offline
The File menu can be accessed in the top left of Firefox by pressing the ALT key.
Be warned that this does not prevent traffic from "localhost" loop-back itself, unless you additionally turn on
network.disable-localhost-when-offline
preference in about:config.
Bugzilla issue: Add option to disallow connections to localhost while in offline mode.
In Chrome you can open developer tools switch to the network tab and set throttling to offline
For Firefox, from the ☰ (hamburger menu), choose Web Developer > Work Offline.
For Chrome, open DevTools and select the Network panel. Throttling is set to Online (Disabled) by default. From the dropdown menu, you can choose presets Fast 3G and Slow 3G, but to simulate Offline Mode, you want to choose Offline.
