Noob!! When I inspect a page source, say wikipedia.org, my first experience, I find the DOM element for title, double click it, and replace it with "My Wikipedia," Then I hit Enter. However, there is no change in the output sample page. If I refresh, my edit disappears from the source code. I have failed both on Chrome and Edge. What am I doing wrong/
Also, I am low vision and I am having an accessibility issue. If I view "page source," no problem, I can CTRL+. But when I am doing "Inspect Source" and looking at HTML5 DOM elements, CTRL+ fails. I have checked through menus and queried Help. I can find no way to increase the font size to read the code. It is so small for me that I have to hand hold a magnifying glass.
Thank you for any assistance!
Since you didn't say which browser you are using I can't help you. But, Firefox does support Ctrl + to increase font size when inspecting an element.

Worked for me in new versions of Edge and Vivaldi (Chromium-based).
Thank you for your efforts to corroborate my failures. CTRL+ is now working on the output for DOM elements in Edge and Chrome, so this must have been a one-off glitch on my part
BTW, I like the default UI rendering of Edge better than I do Chrome's. So that tells me that different browsers render the code UI differently. When I get back to my Linux computer (using a friend's on Windows now), I'm going to try a bunch of browsers: Firefox, Chrome, Chromium, Vivaldi, and some of the various Linux browsers to see how they render. I could then find my favorite browser from a dev point of view, I am realizing.
You could also try the "classic" Opera 12.18, it has a lot of great features even though it's not developed anymore.

The newer Opera 15 and later is a completely different browser, in fact Vivaldi is more similar to the old one.
