Anti-Anti-Debug

I've noticed that a lot of websites will try to prevent you from using the debugger. They use various techniques ranging from calling `debugger` every second to entrapped sourcemaps to make debugger features work against you! Take a look at disable-devtool [1], it surprises me just how many methods can be used to detect usage of an invaluable tool that should be a user's right to use. These "exploits" should really be patched browser-side, but I don't see any active efforts by browsers to fix this. I've created a simple anti-anti-debug extension [2] that monkey-patches my way around these anti-debug scripts. It works fine for now, but I can't imagine it working consistently in the long term once the inevitable arms race begins. How can we get Google, Mozilla, etc... to care about dev tool accessibility?

After some positive feedback from here [0], I've reworked my anti-anti-debug extension to also work on Firefox in addition to Chrome! I'm still waiting for the Firefox version to be signed by Mozilla, but you should be able to load it as a temporary extension until then. What does it do? Simply put, it will override a few Javascript methods to prevent websites from trying to forcefully prevent usage of the dev tools. Theres more details in the README but its generally a very simple script. Feel free to give me feedback! [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37117338#37119944

it's a simple script, should be portable to firefox with minor modifications. The source code is available on Github [0]. 0: https://github.com/Andrews54757/Anti-Anti-Debug
