"Un-redefining" Google Chrome's console Object
I believe you could possibly do this with an iframe inject and then copy the iframe's console object:
<script type="text/javascript">
console = {};
try {
console.log('1');
} catch(e){
alert('No console');
}
</script>
<iframe id="text"></iframe>
<script type="text/javascript">
console = window.frames[0].console;
try {
console.log('test');
} catch(e){
alert('No console');
}
</script>

Note, this is just a demonstration that the concept should work.
EDIT
With a pure JS iframe:
<script type="text/javascript">
console = {};
try {
console.log('1');
} catch(e){
alert('No console');
}
var iframe = document.createElement('iframe');
document.body.appendChild(iframe);
console = window.frames[0].console;
try {
console.log('test');
} catch(e){
alert('No console');
}
</script>

EDIT
And of course, if you need to remove the iframe element afterwards:
<script type="text/javascript">
console = {};
try {
console.log('1');
} catch(e){
alert('No console');
}
var iframe = document.createElement('iframe');
document.body.appendChild(iframe);
console = window.frames[0].console;
try {
console.log('test');
} catch(e){
alert('No console');
}
console.log(typeof window.frames);
document.body.removeChild(iframe);
console.log(typeof window.frames);
</script>
In Google Chrome, deleting the console
object works:
<script>
window.console = {};
delete console;
console.log('still works');
</script>
However, this doesn't seem to work in Firefox 4. It's a start, though.
This seems to work:
iframe = document.createElement('iframe');
document.body.appendChild(iframe);
console = iframe.contentWindow.console;
However it looks like you cannot remove the iframe
