I am in no way trying to fight for security through obscurity in what I’m about to say, but I totally agree with the decision to not have devtools on mobile. Tbh the more I’ve learned about the web, the more I’ve realized that security is not the default. Enableing the console etc shouldn’t be hard but definitely out of the way. Specifically in this context, self-xss should never have been an issue, but every browser has a console and for the longest time all our data was in global variables. I love the web and how open it is, but sometimes I feel it’s a little too open for the average users own good
