### Block DevTools and page source

DevTools hands anyone who can reach a browser a console on the page, plus network logs, cookies, and local storage. When you expose a session through live view, or run agent code you don't fully trust, block the URLs DevTools loads from:

<CodeGroup>
```python Python
from kernel import Kernel

kernel = Kernel()

browser = kernel.browsers.create(
chrome_policy={
"URLBlocklist": ["devtools://*", "chrome://inspect", "view-source:*"],
}
)
```

```typescript Typescript/Javascript
import Kernel from '@onkernel/sdk';

const kernel = new Kernel();

const browser = await kernel.browsers.create({
chrome_policy: {
URLBlocklist: ["devtools://*", "chrome://inspect", "view-source:*"],
},
});
```
</CodeGroup>

## Available policies

Any policy listed in the [Chrome Enterprise policy documentation](https://chromeenterprise.google/policies/) can be used in the `chrome_policy` object. Refer to the official docs for the full list of supported policy names, types, and values.
