Detecting devtools device emulation

[Geoff Corey]

The goal is to make sure someone is not spoofing the browser with devtools.

Is there a way to determine if devtools emulation for geolocation is enabled via javascript?

[Philip Rogers]

I don't think so.

Can you describe why you would to detect this? Geolocation is trivial to spoof at many levels (e.g., using Android's developer tools) so I hope it's not something you're depending on.

He's a content provider!! He wants to lock it down!!!

Yes I am well aware how easy it is to spoof.  Trying to keep honest people honest.   If we can detect that the chrome browser is in emulation mode that would help.

Geoff,

It likely you already solved your issue, but the way I accounted for chrome dev tools geolocation emulation was to disregard any geo data which has lower accuracy than 40m. this works because dev tools attached accuracy of 150m with their emulation.
