What did you do?

You didn’t really hack the web since the web page will come back to its initial state once you refresh the page.

The developer’s tools were created to help web developers see the changes to their pages instantly.

But these tools could easily be misused to create fake news.

You could change the prices of a product on any e-shop.

You could change the score of your brother’s favourite soccer team to make a prank.

You could make your favourite actor wish you a personal “Happy Birthday”.

So stay on the bright side, and use this tool wisely!
