User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.14; rv:74.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/74.0
Steps to reproduce:
Followed a link to an article:
Actual results:
Was hit by a pulsing ad. I have neuro issues and similar animation. I can't open a contextual menu, whether for uBlock Origin or the inspector.
Expected results:
Sites should not be able to disable the inspector or other safety tools.
The ad itself seems to use javascript, so blocking certain css can't tweak it, but users should be able to check the container in the inspector, and block the container and the ad within it.

Websites cannot disable inspecting their content via DevTools. They may be able to prevent the default right-click event which opens the context menu. But it is still possible to open the DevTools via the keyboard shortcut or browser menu and use the markup view or the node picker tool to select and inspect the element.
