Reminds me of my experiences with UnitedHealthcare’s website. If I try to log in with Firefox + uBO I get mysterious permissions errors and “something went wrong” messages for the next few hours, even after switching browsers. Use Chromium from the beginning though and it’s smooth sailing. And of course their “tech” support is beyond useless about this.
How is this detected in js, if possible? Is there a dev tools open event or does it detect f keys and right click events?
On firefox the easy way to get around this is by disabling breakpoints, the harder way is a userscript.
I had to use their silly drag-and-drop email builder because I'm handing the email off to be edited by a non-dev. I dropped in a "Code" module so I could add some custom CSS but because a style tag generates no space, that module is no longer accessible via the UI as there's nothing to click on. So I thought oh brother I'll just inject a couple br tags via the Inspector and then poof, I'm in the doghouse.
Still ridiculous, but not quite the same thing as being banned for opening dev tools (of course, I am also speculating here, I guess we'd need to hear from mailchimp to be sure).
That's an anticompetitive move. If you need to switch senders for some reason, the inspector is the only clean way to get an email's HTML into another ESP.
I used ChatGPT to get a refund from Mailchimp when their CKText editor failed to load on International Women's Day, preventing us from sending an email promotion that day. I opened the web inspector to show the library erroring when Mailchimp tried out a to load it, and also provided a screencast. I wasn't blocked, but I did receive a refund. So this must be a relatively new thing! If I were the OP, I would complain…
When you open devtools, by default it will try to load source code maps for your JS and CSS. Very simple for a system to detect the request for the map file. If that's their vector turn off the autoloader and try from a clean IP.
The source map requests was a more successful option. Also played around with "snap" resize but it was too agressive.
As for whatever the reason MailChimp would block your up is pretty ridiculous.

I don't understand why those strange people at hackernews downvoted you. I guess using ChatGPT makes them scared.

The part I do not understand is even websites that verify you via 2FA do this, so I assume their goal is to track you no matter what.
