5 Fun JavaScript Tricks to Try in Your Browser

1. Turn Off JavaScript to Disable Ads

One of the easiest ways to block most ads on websites is by disabling JavaScript. Many pop-ups and ads rely on JavaScript to load, so turning it off will give you an ad-free experience (though some pages might look broken without it).

Steps:

1. In Chrome, click on the three dots in the top-right corner and go to Settings.

2. Under Privacy and Security, click on Site Settings.

3. Scroll down to Content and select JavaScript.

4. Turn off JavaScript.

Fun Factor: It’s fun to see a website without all the distractions, but be aware that some pages might not load properly.

2. Edit Web Pages Using Inspect Element

Want to play around with any website’s content? You can edit any text or images directly by using the Inspect Element tool. It’s perfect for making quick changes for fun.

Steps:

1. Right-click on the page and select Inspect or press Ctrl+Shift+I.

2. In the Elements tab, find the HTML of the page.

3. Click on any text or image source and change it.

Fun Factor: You can prank your friends or test how web design changes by modifying text and images on the fly.

3. Change Background and Font Styles with JavaScript

Want to customize any website instantly? You can use JavaScript to change the background color or the font style of a webpage.

Steps:

1. Open the Developer Tools (Ctrl+Shift+I or right-click and select Inspect).

2. Go to the Console tab.

3. Type the following to change the background to a color: document.body.style.backgroundColor = 'lightblue';

4. To change the font, type: document.body.style.fontFamily = 'Comic Sans MS';

Fun Factor: You can make any page look quirky by adjusting its background and font. Try making a page look like a meme!

4. Rotate Webpage for an Upside-Down Experience

Want to see how a website looks upside down? You can easily rotate the entire page by applying some JavaScript in the console.

Steps:

1. Open Developer Tools (Ctrl+Shift+I or right-click and select Inspect).

2. Go to the Console tab.

3. Paste this code: document.body.style.transform = "rotate(180deg)";

4. Hit Enter.

Fun Factor: Try navigating a page upside down! It’s disorienting, fun, and a perfect way to confuse your friends.

5. Break YouTube by Turning Off JavaScript

You can prank someone by turning off JavaScript and visiting YouTube. Without JavaScript, the site will break, and videos won’t load, giving you a chaotic or blank experience.

Steps:

1. Disable JavaScript (as previously explained).

2. Visit YouTube – you'll notice that videos won't load, buttons won’t respond, and the site might not display properly.

Fun Factor: Watch as YouTube breaks and becomes almost unrecognizable! It's hilarious to see how dependent websites are on JavaScript, and it’s a fun way to confuse someone who’s not expecting it.
