you can intercept keyboard events in javascript the same way you can intercept mouse events, so they just intercept f12 and have it do nothing the same way as those anti-right click scripts work. you can always get to it from the browser tools menu tho. the more rear end in a top hat thing to do is throw a loop on the page that calls "debugger" so when you open dev tools it breaks and you have to disable debugging.

it is very stupid that the most important, singularly universal ui platform doesn't let you use all the buttons. i really think web browsers need more of a split between 'web site' and 'web app'.

it should either be static geocities pages where no javascript is allowed or a fully native user experience that looks and feels like any other application. all web browsers should be called things like "Throbbing Dicks and Clits" and "Murdering People Richer Than You Isn't A Crime" to preclude all commercial applications

Funny tech thing that I remember (and have remembered before so sorry for reusing content): The web was supposed to be for sharing scientific information, now it is literally everything but that. You can find pages that are using WebGl to implement a path traced rendering engine, banking and commerce sites, Jira pages taking up several GB of memory, but scientific papers are still just PDFs.
