I am trying to build a chrome extension to improve the functionality of a website that uses react. I have concluded that the only way to implement this functionality would be by modifying the state of a react component. I used React DevTools to accomplish this, and I was able to do it by changing the value manually in the Components tab. Now, I was wondering if there would be any way to do this in plain Javascript without using DevTools? Even a description of how DevTools works would help as I could maybe figure out how to implement my own solution.
