Logging and other constraints of browser-based applications

On most widely used browsers, the Network tab shows all of the network requests/responses. Also, failed requests are directly thrown in the console. The way around it is to discourage the user from running a browser with this features, such as by running the app in kiosk mode of the browser (widely available in Firefox), especially on Linux- or Android-based development boards (e.g. RPi, Orange Pi etc.).
