Working for a big tech company, stuff like this infuriates me.
It’s exactly why we’re currently pushing for the ability to disable developer tools, we want it added to Chrome and other browsers. I should be able to, as a web site owner, not allow any kind of developer tool usage.
Users do not own our product and have no right to go poking around like this!

- ManlyBread 7y agoYou don't own my computer either and thus you don't get to choose what I can and can't do with it. The prospect of disabling dev tools just so your business can have it easier is laughable.
- PudgePacket 7y agoMake an app then. You/your company made the choice to use web technologies and take advantage of their benefits. Users own their computers and their browser (user agent) is for serving them. Not you. You have no right to be telling a users computer exactly what to do. Do that on your own servers. The state of tracking and telemetry is insane enough already with chrome gearing up to cut the legs out from ad blocking. Plus, even if you're lucky enough to have your wishes with the browser, it doesn't affect anyone serious anyway. They will scrape outside of chrome, as they already do and have always done.
