I have a chrome extension(which opens up in a new tab in chrome browser) which uses JSON APIs to fetch certain secured data from the server. I don't want the logged-in user to check those API's. I want to restrict user from opening the chrome devtool.

Can you please help me out in checking whether anybody is trying to open the chrome devtool?

    Even if it is possible, which I seriously doubt, it would be very poor security to rely on something like this. – Patrick Hund Apr 08 '17 at 05:25
  • It is (or was) possible to detect whether devtools are open, use google search. Not that it'll help you though. – wOxxOm Apr 08 '17 at 05:53

You can't nor can you stop someone from looking at your APIs.
