An extension to disable F12 opening the dev console.

What is Disable F12?

'Disable F12' is a Chrome extension that disables the function of the F12 key, which typically opens the developer console in Chrome or Chromium. The extension was created following a request from Linus Torvalds, and its effectiveness is evidenced in a screenshot where the developer console is absent even after the F12 key has been pressed. This tool is especially useful for those who wish to avoid the distraction of accidentally opening the developer console while coding or working on a web project.
