How to Temporarily Alter Your Browser's Display to Show a Fake Twitter Verified Badge

Last Updated: August 10, 2021 Tested

Do you want a fake Twitter verified badge? If you're working on a prank or demonstration, you can manipulate your browser appearance to display a fake verified badge. It won't be there the next time you reload the page, but you can take a screenshot of it.

Steps

1
Go to your Twitter profile. You don't need to log in.
2
Open Developer Tools.
- In Chrome, click on the 3 dots > More Tools > Developer Tools, or press Ctrl+⇧ Shift+I
- In other browsers, the process is a little different, but usually you can find "Inspect Element" by right-clicking on an element and selecting that option from the menu that pops up.

3
Select the Element Picker Tool. Just click on the arrow mark icon from the Developer Tools.
4
Click on your Twitter name with that tool. Now you can see the elements on the Developer Tool that you want to edit.
5
Edit the HTML code.
- In Chrome, click on … > Edit as HTML.
- In any browser, you can typically right-click the part of the HTML you want to edit, and select the option that says something like, "Edit As HTML".
