Disable F12
Description from store

By request from Linus Torvalds (https://plus.google.com/102150693225130002912/posts/7PsYYeavcA9) here's an extension to disable F12 from opening the developer console in Chrome/Chromium.

The screenshot clearly shows that there is no developer console even after pressing F12. ;)

Damn, I wish this worked. I was happy to find it, and very disappointed that it does nothing. It's super irritating that stupid elements frame always popping up on accidental keypress. If someone ever makes a working version, allow us to edit the key, instead of removing it. Maybe shift or alt F12

Doesn't work anymore. This needs to be updated every time Chrome makes updates. With the last Chrome (this week) update this has stopped working.

As mentionned before, if you have more than 2 tabs open, this extension is useless... Unfortunately :(

Works if you have a window with only a single tab open with a web page loaded. Does NOT work in a window with no page loaded. Does NOT work in any window with multiple tabs open. Dear developer, this is a great extension, would you please update it? Thank you.

F12 still opens while a page is loading. Not happy with that Google needs to what Microsoft Edge is doing. Edge has a disable setting in the settings og Edge.

The extension is not fully working but the source code is provided in the extension creator website. So, to disable F12 key in your browser simply go to Inspect then Console then paste the following JavaScript code: window.addEventListener("keydown", keyListener, false); function keyListener(e) { if(e.keyCode == 123) { e.returnValue = false; } }

Was great when it worked, Now it doesnt work, But I have found a way to use autohotkey(as of the time of this writing) To not only disable F12 but also F11(just as pesky as F12. Here is the text that you use when making an autohotkey script: #IfWinActive ahk_exe chrome.exe F11::return F12::return #IfWinActive Save the script then place in your windows startup folder.
