Prank Your Coworker With Google Chrome


Do you have a friend or coworker whose been pushing your buttons lately? Yeah, you know who I’m talking about. Well, here’s a cool prank that’ll get them back, without turning you over to the dark side. FYI, this will only work if they use Google Chrome.

1)    Wait for them to step away from the computer.
2)    Open or click on their Google Chrome browser.
3)    Click on a popular, non-work related site, like Facebook or Twitter.  Let’s use Facebook for this example.
4)    Right-click and choose ‘Inspect element’. This will split the screen into two or three sections. 
5)    In the bottom area, you’ll see a bunch of code mumbo jumbo. Find the line that says, ‘<div class="WelcomePage_MainMessage">Facebook helps you connect and share with the people in your life.</div>’. You might have to down click on some of the arrows to find it.

6)    In that code, click on the copy that says, ‘Facebook helps you connect and share with the people in your life’ and change it to whatever you want. As an example, ‘Mark, Facebook thinks you spend too much time on this site and wonders how you still have a job!’ You can even change the measurements, etc., if you’re crafty with HTML.
7)    Click on the X in the top left-hand corner of the ‘code box’ to put the page back to normal.
8)    Sit back and laugh as your buddy wonders how Facebook knows their dirty little secret. 

Happy pranking. ~ p
