An extension to disable F12 opening the dev console.

By request from Linus Torvalds (https://plus.google.com/102150693225130002912/posts/7PsYYeavcA9) here's an extension to disable F12 from opening the developer console in Chrome/Chromium.

The screenshot clearly shows that there is no developer console even after pressing F12. ;)

R N 2022-03-03 maybe it works on some sites, but definitely not all. :( I wish it also disabled ctrl shift i and ctrl shift c
Birgit Aun 2021-11-24 I did a restart on the browser just in case, still does not work. Version 96.0.4664.45 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Akram 2021-07-07 The extension is not fully working but the source code is provided in the extension creator website. So, to disable F12 key in your browser simply go to Inspect then Console then paste the following JavaScript code: window.addEventListener("keydown", keyListener, false); function keyListener(e) if(e.keyCode == 123) e.returnValue = false;
