Most of the web pages are read only. But using your web browser and some tools you can make changes to your web page. In this article, I am explaining how you can easily edit the content of any web page using developer tools.

How to edit web pages in google chrome web browser:

  1. Open any web page using chrome and select text which you want to edit.

  1. Go to Add-ons in the toolbar menu.
  2. Search for Add-on Firebug and add extension Firebug to your Firefox browser.
