There is this guy on Github making an open source program/file that people can simply copy and paste onto their sites so that devtool/inspect element is impossible to use, making data hoarding and scraping impossible.

https://github.com/theajack/disable-devtool

How are we supposed to bypass this? Would it do anything to report the site to browser developers so that they can patch the problem ?

    making data hoarding and scraping impossible.

    That’s not even remotely true. All this does is make it more annoying. A website cannot lock a browser out of it’s dev tools. Doesn’t even make logical sense if you think about it for even a second. A debugger that can be blocked by a bug would a pretty stupid design.

    There’s a dozen ways to get past it.
