Example of a Screenshot of a Website Manipulated with the Inspector

Background

Nowadays, people seem to think that a screenshot of a website is reliable evidence. Is this true? We need some examples of how websites can be manipulated in such a way that screenshots will provide misleading information.

Task

Using the Chrome Inspector, access 5 different websites and change their content or formatting in unexpected ways. Take screenshots of your changes, post them to a class discussion board, and briefly explain what you did. Try to be creative and do things that others have not thought of.
