Ask HN: Ideas for Casual DOM Manipulation

2 pointsby toinebegalmost 2 years ago
Hi HN,<p>I&#x27;m working on a short talk I will be doing soon. I want to desmonstrate to a non-coder public that when you access a webpage, you actually download a some data that you can interract with and modify. This is pratices I do without thinking but I see people don&#x27;t have that knowledge. I will show small js one liners, css rules or gui interaction with the standard dev tools. I will also talk about plugins, [tamper&#x2F;violent&#x2F;fire]monkey, ublock, user stylesheet...<p>For now I have the following :<p>- delete paywall or modals from the dom with the inspect tool (you can do the same in Ublock also).<p>- change the input type from password to text to see a recorded password<p>- change color from the devtools then apply them with user stylesheet (using a plugin)<p>- identify resources (sound, image) from the network pannel and download them in your user folder<p>- find image links by inspecting stylesheet to get background images<p>- modify url arguments (pagination querystring, explore a site by it&#x27;s url)<p>- show several privacy and adblocking plugins.<p>Do you have any ideas in the same vein I could use to enrich the presentation ?

Great ideas! What about going to a very well known site, eg NYT, and changing some text on the front page to mention your self, or the presentation and take a screen shot of that?<p>&quot;this presentation is so good the NYT is talking about it!&quot;
