<div class="level2">
+<p>
+There is no specific mode, instead you use several command line switches. A typical fullscreen setup with no toolbar that opens about:blank and resets the session after 2 minutes of inactivity for instance:
+</p>
+<pre class="code bash">midori <span class="re5">-i</span> <span class="nu0">120</span> <span class="re5">-e</span> Fullscreen <span class="re5">-e</span> Navigationbar <span class="re5">-a</span> about:blank</pre>
+
+<p>
+Available commands for -e can be listed with “midori –help-execute”.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+If needed, a customized profile can be created with “midori -c /path/to/folder”. Using the shortcut editor extension, keyboard shortcuts can be removed as needed. Afterwards just append ”-c /path/to/folder” to the kiosk mode command line.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+To restrict pages that can be opened, you can use a regular expression. The expression is a blacklist. To block undesirable sites you can do something like:
+</p>
+<pre class="code bash"><span class="re5">-b</span> <span class="st_h">'youtube|youporn'</span></pre>
+
+<p>
+By negating the expression you can also whitelist pages.
+</p>
+<pre class="code bash"><span class="re5">-b</span> <span class="st_h">'^(?!.*?(gmail|mail\.google|accounts\.google)).*'</span></pre>
+
+<p>
+Any links outside end up in an error page. All images and other files won't be loaded.

By running a local proxy you can modify web content even before it has reached Midori. That allows you to do things similar to what user scripts and user styles provide and even others that neither is suitable for.
