Description

surf-display is a wrapper around Surf. It can turn a system into a browser based display terminal in
       KIOSK mode.

       surf-display registers itself as an x-session-manager alternative and provides a very minimal X11
       session, launching the matchbox-window-manager, pulseaudio (if requested) and unclutter (if requested)
       before starting the fullscreen browser session.

       surf-display locks down mouse pointer right-click behaviour and disables various keyboard shortcuts to
       hide Surf functionalities from the user. Out goal is to not let users break out of the given entry WWW
       site's browsing design.

       You can combine surf-display with a local tinyproxy setup to configure access to specific sites and
       configure what sites to block user access from.
