I've pulled a few browser script pranks, where I get access to someone's computer when they're not around and load a script that turns their whole browsing experience monochromatic, or replace all the <img src with cat pics, etc.

It's a little mean πŸ™ƒ

If you have access to the router, you don't even need access to a specific computer. Just set up a redirect to a transparent proxy and "massage" the traffic there ("why is my browser rendering everything upside down?!?").
