Does it work if you spoof the user agent?

Gotta love it.

It gets blocked in a private window, but only on the second page load. So more sophisticated than UA-blocking.

The finger-wagging about "Use of developer or inspection tools" is just outrageous. Akin to accusing users of thought crime.

The only solution to all this will be through elections and laws.

Developer tools are easily detected by looking for the viewport to resize a certain amount.

I just opened the developer tools, then chose 'Separate Window' from the menu. The developer tools are now on my other screen, and then I clicked Reply to your message. The developer tools window that I had open is not relating to this tab, but when I opened Developer Tools for this tab, it remembered that I wanted it in a separate window and did so again. The viewport should not have changed at all..?
