A TypeScript browser library that detects whether browser DevTools is open. It lets developers trigger actions like crashing the page or logging when a user opens developer tools.
Use cases
- detect if devtools is open in the browser
- prevent users from inspecting my web page
- crash the page when devtools opens
- log when someone opens developer tools
- protect frontend code from inspection
When to choose
- You need to detect DevTools opening in a browser environment
- You want a lightweight, actively maintained TypeScript library with MIT license
- You want to trigger custom behavior (redirect, crash, warning) when DevTools is detected
When to avoid
- You need real security - DevTools detection is trivially bypassed and not a protection mechanism
- You are working in Node.js or non-browser environments
- You need detection guaranteed across all browsers - the library itself notes it is only tested on Chrome
