Set the browser to full screen or kiosk-style display mode so the Kiosk App fills the entire tablet screen and reduces visible browser controls.
Look for a full screen icon in the browser menu.
Open the browser's menu and select options such as Full Screen, Hide Toolbar, or Add to Home Screen.
On some tablets, opening the page from a home screen shortcut can create a more app-like full-screen experience.
The exact steps vary by tablet and browser.
