How do I access ABP when some sites disable developer tools?

Post by jerriy »

Relying on Quantum ABP is even more hellish than I already thought. Apparently some websites have the capacity to disable this browser function called developer tools -- they disable it completely as soon as the website is loaded first time (the whole developer window with Inspect, Debug and ABP and all that becomes totally unavailable. Pressing F12 will not even open an empty window or browser sidebar. If the developer console was previously open on another website then the "F12 blocking" site will literally and instantaneously shut down that console.

I never remember websites ever having the capacity to disable developer tools client-side before (before the Quantum era), but here we are anyway.

Now what?

How do I access ABP in such a situation?

- go to a normal site, google.com for example
- press CTRL-U
- then replace google.com address by the other (nasty) site address

Example if such site ?
(they usually - using javascript or styles - can disable the various keys o even right click on page)
