Radu Mariescu-Istodor | Animated Counter using Google Chrome Dev Tools and JavaScript (Fake Subscriber Count) @Radu | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 1 hour ago
Knowing how to change the text on a webpage can be very useful. I'll teach you how to use the Google Chrome Dev Tools to change the text on any webpage. I'll also teach you how to use JavaScript in the Dev Tools console to animate the text and make a counter. The animated counter can be customized to be as fast as you want.

In this video I practice on my YouTube Studio page and give myself a fake subscriber count as a joke. But you can use it in more real contexts like if you want to hide some confidential information on a page before taking a screenshot to use at school or work.

To format the subscriber count in the same way YouTube does, using comma separators, I used the function from here:
