We have the need to run an internal app using Chrome, but would like to lockdown the app so Chrome can only be used for this in-house application only.  Starting Chrome using app mode is a good start, but then the user still has the ability to open links in new tabs, or right-click the title bar and select "Open browser window".  Is there a method of opening Chrome that would prevent its use outside of the intended frame?  Other suggestions are welcome as well.  Thanks.

Mm. You can create an extension that closes whatever new tab or window that opens. I do not think it should be too hard (store the tab/window ID in a variable and whenever a tab or a window is created or updated that does not have that ID, close it).
