Of course, that isn't a defense for disabling the developer console (which should be considered a critical security issue): all of those were as stupid and immoral and indefensible as this.

Don't blame the web page so much as the user agent that respects such silly things. Use a better browser.

I don't use Chrome (I don't use Google products) and I wasn't defending it. It's a critical bug in the browser, but that doesn't mean it's okay for Netflix and Facebook exploit it.
