Electron-based kiosk desktop app: large-tile launcher for YouTube, RuTube,
movie sites and Google services, designed for low-tech grandparent use.
Features:
- WebContentsView-per-app tabbed browsing with session persistence
- per-app proxy routing (Clash/V2Ray friendly, useProxy flag)
- cliqz-electron adblocker with whitelist for OAuth/integrity domains
- TMDB-backed movie search across kinogo / hdrezka / filmix
- bookmark posters auto-fetched from og:image / JSON-LD
- electron-updater wired to Gitea releases API (latest.yml + .blockmap)
- cross-domain navigation confirms via custom WebContentsView dialogs
- kiosk window with hidden menu, Ctrl+Shift+I devtools shortcut
- Trusted Types disabled engine-wide so adblocker scriptlets work on YouTube
Google OAuth handling (the hard-won part):
Google's anti-abuse JS rejects WebContentsView + custom session settings
as "embedded browser". So accounts.google.com opens in a top-level
BrowserWindow popup in a dedicated persist:google-login partition that
we never call setProxy/setUserAgent on — it inherits Windows system
proxy and the default Electron-tagged UA, both of which Google accepts.
After login, .google.com/.youtube.com cookies migrate into the parent
view's session and the view reloads to pick up the logged-in state.
Session restore: only the last-active tab attaches to the window; other
tabs load silently in the background and become instantly visible when
the user clicks them in the sidebar.
