Chrome in Kiosk Mode vs Electron

[Dylan Tucker]

Hi all -

I recently built an electron app based on a very simple single page website (html/css/js). For some reason the electron app would freeze randomly after a while and I could never find the issue, and in the end the only way to solve it was to run the site in chrome's kiosk mode and not as an electron app. (I used the flags '--start-fullscreen --kiosk --disable-pinch --incognito' for chrome in the startup folder so the machine always boots up in kiosk mode). It's now running fine, so I'm wondering what are the downsides of me running it this way in comparison to having a full blown electron app?

Many thanks!
