I think you've made some statements that are a little misleading or incorrect here, and I'd like to clear them up.

Inspect Element IS a tool of certain browser, but there's absolutely nothing illegal or even necessarily related to "hacking" about it. It's *nothing* like climbing through a window. You were doing alright with the "tool" analogy at first. The browser is a tool, and Inspect Element is a part of that tool. It's nothing more than viewing the HTML like you said in the first sentence... when you change it, you only change a local copy on your computer. Inspect Element has nothing to do with the server.

It's a completely ordinary feature of browsers, and to suggest otherwise is misleading.

Also, cheating and hacking are not the same thing. I'm suggesting that A.J. is advocating cheating, not that he is hacking.

Also, all servers are absolutely unable to detect the use of Inspect Element by itself (unless for some bizarre reason a browser is programmed to let them know). It's not something like Khan Academy's servers failing to detect the use of it.

HMcCoy: To answer your questions about Inspect Element: Inspect Element allows you to view the the HTML of any website, as TibetPrime says in his first sentence. Any changes you make to that HTML would be changes made to your own local copy.

You can use it by right-clicking on some part of a webpage and clicking on "Inspect Element" in many browsers. You might also find it under an option like "View Source". It's nothing secret or shady. But AJ suggested using it to (somehow) acquire speed badges easily.
