@SKB You can't rely on something like this. You just have to make sure you're not printing anything sensitive to console or writing it in your source code. – gcampbell Aug 09 '16 at 09:14

@gcampbell well the customer wants the user not able to run js through console when visiting the website. I currently disabled console.log and window.open – Stephin Aug 09 '16 at 09:50

@SKB An engineer at Facebook [tried to do this](http://stackoverflow.com/a/21693931/6303733). Chrome fixed the "bug" that let them disable the console. Your only option is to verify things server-side. – gcampbell Aug 09 '16 at 09:53

@SKB Also remember that there are many other ways for someone to execute custom JS code, such as `javascript:` URLs, Greasemonkey, and intercepting network requests. – gcampbell Aug 09 '16 at 10:03
