A simple way to solve this issue is to just deprecate the debugger statement and have people rely on setting up breakpoints manually, or request an explicit opt in into the debugger statement so that random websites don’t hijack it.

That would be helpful, but there are also other methods that don't involve using the debugger. For example, one technique involves periodically printing a custom object to the console with a toString getter. This is programmatically called by the browser only when the devtools are opened. This allows the website to know when you've opened devtools and they will redirect/block/crash your browser in response.

They don't need to deprecate it. I remember reading a blogpost here that was about bypassing these kinds of checks. They recompiled SpiderMonkey with the debugger() method renamed to something else.
