As long as web browsers have a "view source" option, you can peek

the beauties of the web as I cannot "view source" of Microsoft Word's
code in the menus.
Maybe that's why a lot of devs choose not to put it under a free
software license and leave un-minified. Anyone can look at their
source code at any time which is not common with most desktop and
mobile applications.
I am glad that there is a viewing of source for webpages. It helped
me learn how to do it in the beginning and learn as technology
progresses. Even now.
That is true, but it's not really enough. I wanted to change the
JavaScript used on my university's intranet, but I probably couldn't
without permission. The result? I spent a while writing GreaseMonkey
replacement scripts for all of their JavaScript (I avoided reading their
JS, of course). So far I've made a bit of progress, and made the changes
I wanted.
