Google Chrome is a popular web browser and one of the most popular browsers in use today. It has a number of features that make it an excellent choice for online browsing, including a search engine that is very fast and comprehensive. One of the features that makes Google Chrome especially useful is its ability to run webpages in a variety of formats, including PDF, JPEG, and PNG. This makes it possible to view pages in a variety of ways, depending on what type of device you are using them on. One way to use Google Chrome to run webpages in different formats is by using the “Webpage Display Prank.” This prank allows you to display a page in one format but have it appear as if it was created in another format, such as PDF or JPEG. To do this, open Google Chrome and select the “File” tab. Then click on the “New” button at the bottom of the screen. Type “webpagedisplayprank.html” into the text field and click on the “Create” button. The page will now be created with a new file name, which you can change if you want. Once you have created the webpagedisplayprank.html file, open it up and paste it into your browser’s address bar. You will now be able to view the page in either PDF or JPEG format depending on what type of device you are using it on.
Before
Here is our example webpage before starting the prank…looking all “normal like”.
Upside Down in Action
As soon as the extension has been installed you are ready to go. If you had a webpage open before installing the extension you will only need to refresh the page. As soon as the page has been refreshed or a new one is opened everything is going to look messed up very quickly. With the default setting there are five different “looks” available.
To cycle through the five “looks” use the “Windows Key + Semicolon” or “Command + Semicolon” to toggle through them. On the sixth toggle the webpage will revert to normal (toggling afterwards starts the whole process again). Here are the five “looks” available…
Options
There are options available for the extension where you can focus on just a specific effect or a group of effects. You can also enable a “Grayscale Effect” and even set a delay timer (a definite “evil touch”)! Think of the fun and surprised looks that await…
Conclusion
If you have been looking for a fun and unexpected prank for your favorite Google Chrome fan then this just might be what you have been looking for. Get ready to sit back and watch the fun.
