Disable F12 is a free Chrome extension developed by nemrod. It falls under the category of Browsers and specifically the subcategory of Add-ons & Tools. As the name suggests, this extension aims to disable the functionality of the F12 key, preventing it from opening the developer console in Chrome/Chromium.

The idea for this extension came from a request made by Linus Torvalds, the creator of Linux, who wanted a way to disable the F12 key from opening the developer console. The extension successfully achieves this by blocking the F12 key's default behavior, ensuring that pressing it does not open the console.

With Disable F12, users can rest assured that the developer console will not accidentally open when they press the F12 key. The extension provides a simple and effective solution for those who wish to disable this functionality in their Chrome browser.
