This is an interesting way and can make a funny screenshot. You can test how the font changes to the look of the website or what the button looks like when changing the label. It is also very useful when you take a screenshot. For example, if you want to introduce your friend to something in Gmail but don't want to reveal your email address, you can edit the text on the top right before taking a screenshot. In the example in the article, we changed our address to test@yahoo.com .
