For example,(not really want I need it for), Going to a friends facebook page and having the name something stupid like, "Hairy Face", and when I go back to his page it always changes it to Hairy face for me. I know it'll only be on my computer, but I just need something to do that. I can't just inspect element and change it because when you refresh it goes away of course.

I don't quite see how you could do that without a complete overkill.

I had a long idea only just to realize that facebook block iframes. ugh..

There is no simple way of doing it without playing around with your host file and/or writing a browser add-on. Unless someone else can think of something I am missing, you won't be able to do it without putting in a lot of unnecessary effort.

I was thinking tampermonkey but idk how to use that.

Oh well then you'd have to use that, like I said a browser add-on may of been another more feasible option and considering one is already made for you what's the problem? I can't really tell you how to use it because frankly I've only just heard of it. Though it seems very gui heavy and so it shouldn't be too difficult.

Ctrl + S, save the webpage, and only the webpage (not complete). And edit the html and then you can open it later and see the changes you've made.

I don't think this is what the OP was looking for. From what I see, he is looking for the edit to remain while browsing through facebook.com

I have something working in Greasemonkey:


// ==UserScript==
// @name        Facebook Renamer
// @namespace   facebookrenamer
// @description Renames a facebook friend
// @include     http://*.facebook.com/*
// @include     https://*.facebook.com/*
// @version     1
// @grant       none
// ==/UserScript==

function main() {
   
    jQ('body').html( jQ('body').html().replace(new RegExp(
        /* ENTER FRIEND NAME HERE */
        "John Smith"                                                              , "gi"),
        /*   NOW ENTER NEW NAME   */
        "Hairy Face"
        ///////////////////////////
    ) );

}

function addJQuery(callback) {
    var script = document.createElement("script");
    script.setAttribute("src", "//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js");
    script.addEventListener('load', function() {
    var script = document.createElement("script");
    script.textContent = "window.jQ=jQuery.noConflict(true);(" + callback.toString() + ")();";
    document.body.appendChild(script);
    }, false);
    document.body.appendChild(script);
}
addJQuery(main);


It doesn't work when you scroll down the page, not sure how to handle that so anyone that knows more about Javascript/jQuery may be able to help on that but it's something to start with.
