> doesn't want me opening the console

Whoa. That's not even something it should be able to detect. What's the gaping security hole that lets it do that?

there are a wide variety of ways to indirectly detect that someone opened devtools

the most common way is to set a breakpoint, which pause JS execution only if devtools are open. this pause can be detected with a timer.

...how do you set a breakpoint in someone else's devtool console?

debugger;
