Google Chrome inactivity redirect

I have chrome opening in kiosk mode - I added the --kiosk flag to the chrome shortcut which works as expected.

The kiosk allows browsing of our intranet and the internet. I realise I can use javascript to redirect pages on our intranet, but what about the internet? We don't want people fpr example browsing to YouTube and then walking away.

We would like to have the browser re-direct to www.MyDomain.com after x minutes of inactivity.

I have tried Kiosk here which does exactly what we require but the swipe left/right gestures don't seem to work for page navigation (already contacted the developer via github).

Any suggestions?

Why does my Google Chrome keep redirecting me?

A Google Chrome redirect loop error occurs when the owner of a website changes their website URL (address) and the old one redirects you to the new one. Because this could be used maliciously, Google gives you an error when you try to reach the site.

How do I go to previous page in Chrome?

Right-click, or click and hold either the Back or Forward arrow in the browser toolbar. Goes to the previous page in your browsing history for the tab. Press Backspace , or Alt and the left arrow together.

I managed to find an answer to this question on another site.

Ended up using a chrome extension called Idle Reset.

Hopefully it helps somebody else.
