    I use Google functionality to view the desktop site on mobile

    For Google on Android, click on the 3 vertical dots to the top right of the page header (not on the boards screen)

    There's an option to tick Desktop site on the drop down menu that appears

    Hey, B, I’ve had this one pointed out to me in another thread. If you click on the ‘aA’ icon on the left of your address bar and then scroll down to ‘Request Desktop Website’.

    You can switch back the same way. There’s another way you can do it by going through settings but that turns on ‘Desktop’ versions for all websites.

    The tide is turning…
