Hey, unfortunately this has false positives. Do you know when such cases could happen?

@AEPKILL commented on GitHub (Dec 26, 2025):

False positives can occur when the client is under heavy load or experiencing severe performance issues.

The performance-based detection measures timing differences in console operations. When the system is lagging, these measurements become unreliable and can trigger false positives even when DevTools is closed.

I'll work on fixing this issue, but it may take some time.
