Hide my source code

[Og]

Hello everybody,

When an error happens in my extension, I want to prevent my source code from being 'crawled' by the Chrome console. I don't want users to have access to it (code through pages stack). Is it possible to hide this from the end user? How to do this?

Thanks.

Could you elaborate a bit further on what code you're referring to? Is this the code from a content script or the background?

Either way, there isn't a true way to hide the code of your extension. Content scripts will always be accessible in Dev Tools and the background is always inspectable if "Developer Mode" is enabled on the chrome://extensions page.

Minification is allowed if that would give you some peace of mind: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/webstore/program-policies/code-readability/
