Oh, I didn't know that Glo is different.

I am puzzled.

I am puzzled.

Oops, wasn't thinking that time. Also replace [qApp_deviceIsStorm=true] with "".

To enable game blocking, I tried to use the tips on this thread:
I have prepared
- Separating custom patches (tips),
- Jackie_w's template for easy updating*,
- the overrides section of the kobopatch.yaml proposed by DNSB*
(thanks to them)
I get an error double-clicking on kobopatch.bat :

Applying overrides
    ENABLE  `Show all games`
  APPLY `Show all games`
    Error: could not apply patch "Show all games": line 4: inst 3: FindZlib: could not find string
Error: could not apply patches: error applying patch file 'src/nickel_perso.yaml': could not apply patch "Show all games": line 4: inst 3: FindZlib: could not find string

I guess I didn't quite understand exactly what change to make to the Show game section.
Would you please tell me exactly what I should write in my nickel_perso.yaml file?

Try this (untested, but it should work):

Hide all games:
  - Enabled: no
  - FindZlib: "#boggleContainer[qApp_deviceIsStorm=true]"
  - ReplaceZlib: {Find: "[qApp_deviceIsStorm=true]", Replace: ""} # games are hidden on storm, so make it apply to everything

I think it's a success. I hope so, because I'm not sure anymore where to look for the browser and the little games and puzzles.
I think it's in the Beta features: I can only find the large font mode.
Thanks a lot; I can now upgrade to 4.20 and take advantage of the "fraternal anti-intrusion patch".

At 4.20 it won't work

Hide all games:
  - Enabled: no
  - FindZlib: "#boggleContainer[devModeOn=false][qApp_deviceIsStorm=true]"
  - ReplaceZlib: {Find: "[qApp_deviceIsStorm=true]", Replace: ""} # games are hidden on storm, so make it apply to everything
