Do it Ethically
Some may call us pirates, which I find really cool
But the true evil Pirates/criminals are the ones that keep the power to themselves and don’t share it with others
Information is the only true power, and it should be free(free as in free speech) for all.

They mostly use inline JavaScript to determine if the dev tools are open. If open, then they put you in a loop that will only end of the tools are closed. Normally when this happens the debugger will “pause” at the line in question.
If you know how to use the “unlock origin” extension, you can then block the JavaScript inline function so it won’t run. Then the page will not stop when the dev tools are open.
You can Google how to block inline JavaScript with ublock origin.
