I recently encountered a website that abuses the debugger; functionality to prevent effective use of the F12 developer tools. It calls debugger; in several setInterval and all over the place in functions.

Then they have timing tracking variables that terminate the website functionality if the debugger is stopped at a breakpoint for a few seconds..

Is there a way to switch off this functionality and only have the debugger break where I ask? (via breakpoint)

I've been thinking that something like

window.debugger = "function() return 0;" ;

would work, but it didnt :'(

Doesn't `Ctrl + F8` work? – choasia Apr 27 '18 at 01:04
No idea, what does it do? – user230910 Apr 27 '18 at 01:06
`debugger` is a statement like `if`, not a function. You cannot change its behavior. The runtime environment would have provide an option to do that. – Felix Kling Apr 27 '18 at 01:14

In Chrome, Ctrl+F8 helps you ignore `debugger` statement – choasia Apr 27 '18 at 01:55
i'll give it a try, anything cross browser? or is this a browser specific problem? – user230910 Apr 27 '18 at 04:17
