Almost everyone resizes windows by manually dragging the corner. This will generate a series of resize events rather than a single jump. This is a real technique, but it tends to be used by shady piracy sites that want to stop piracy of their pirated contents.
There's another cute approach based on the fact console.log(foo) calls foo.toString if and only if the devtools is open.

- iudqnolq 4y agoThat's why this is used by a particular subset of websites only. They pirate tv shows and movies, and then pack the screen with ads. They don't care at all about user inconvenience or loyalty. The answer to "your website breaks when I do x" would be "stop doing x", if they even had a customer support team. Some of them disable every browser other than chrome on the grounds that users of "weird" browsers are more likely to be "hackers".
