Info
titleRecommended Web Browsers

Heartland recommends using the following browsers while using kiosk mode. These browsers fully support all functionality, follow accepted web standards, and support "privacy/incognito" mode. The latter is very important in order to ensure privacy on publicly available computers so the applicant's data is secured and not stored persistently in the District's web browsers.

  • Firefox 4+ (enabled private browsing)
  • Google Chrome (enable incognito mode)
  • IE 8+ (enable InPrivate mode)
  • Safari 4+ (enable private browsing)

Of these, Heartland recommends either Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox as they offer superior user experience (faster browsing engine) and support a fully functional private browsing mode.  Google Chrome has the added advantage of being a very lightweight, easy install (and unobtrusive uninstall) and can easily be customized for the District; therefore, it is the preferred browser for Kiosk mode.

Note
titleDo Not Use Internet Explorer 6/7 For Kiosks

We highly discourage the use of Internet Explorer 6.x or 7.x for usage of this website, but even more so when using Kiosk mode since these browsers does not support a private browsing mode.  This means all personal data will be captured in browser history, cookies, etc.  Please strongly consider using one of the browsers listed above when utilizing kiosk mode at your District.
