## What it is
A lightweight TypeScript library that disables browser developer tools with one line of code, blocking F12, right-click, and browser menu access. It supports npm and CDN usage with configurable bypass via URL token.

## Use cases
- disable f12 developer tools on my website
- prevent users from opening devtools
- block right-click and inspect element
- protect frontend source code from inspection
- one line of code to disable web developer tools
- stop users from debugging my web page

## When to choose
- You want a simple, drop-in way to deter casual devtools access on a public web page
- You need npm or CDN integration with minimal configuration
- You want a configurable bypass token for trusted users

## When to avoid
- You need real security against determined attackers, since devtools blocking is trivially bypassed
- You want to block server-side inspection or API abuse
- Your users legitimately need browser accessibility tools

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: security, developer-tools
- domain: web-development, frontend, security
- platform: browser
- tags: devtools-blocking, anti-debugging, f12-disable, right-click-disable, browser-protection, web-server
