# If you want to edit something online, all you have to do is go to the page you want, let it load,copy and paste this into your address bar.
javascript:document.body.contentEditable='true'; document.designMode='on'; void 0

Making sure you obliterate the orignal address, when pasted in hit go, and then you can just edit, type or resize what you want to, like the screen capture below ;-)

You are replacing the whole URL with this I take it, not just adding it after?
The site looks exactly the same once its done but you can select text and overtype it straight into the page

# Someone posted it here years and years ago ;-)
Can't for the life of me remember who, they said it only worked on the BBC site I think, But I'v not found a site it doesn't work on....

Another way to identify fonts, is to copy the section you want, and then paste it into word pad or photoshop (as a text layer) and it changes to to font being pasted, the downside of this method is that you have to have the font actually installed on your computer..
