not sure, I would say that [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true) is definitely giving an more easier option to bypass certain things;

- e.g. bypassing [Gated Topics](https://meta.discourse.org/t/gated-topics-in-category/225454) is a lot easier with [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true) then editing the CSS in devtools - for this specific component it actually requires quite some edits to get the “normal” experience.
- certain hidden elements could be revealed, that otherwise would never get reverse-engineered?

Obviously this is not something that I would be aware of, since I don’t expect an abuser to actually report his “bypass” method.
