How to Activate Desktop Mode in Any Browser on Android
Android, Google Chrome, Samsung Internet Browser, and Mozilla Firefox let you quickly enable desktop mode for any open tab. A tab with desktop mode active will continue to load sites and web pages in desktop mode until you close it or re-activate mobile mode.
The same applies to Microsoft Edge and Opera Browser, but these browsers also allow you to always load the desktop versions of sites across all tabs.
Activate Desktop Mode in Google Chrome
In the Google Chrome browser, start by opening the Chrome menu (tap the icon with three dots on the top right corner of the screen). On the menu that then shows up, tap the box next to Desktop site to activate the desktop mode.
If you want to deactivate the desktop view for a tab, simply re-open the Chrome menu and uncheck the box next to Desktop site.
Activate Desktop Mode in Samsung Internet Browser
While having a site open in Samsung Internet Browser, simply select the Menu icon (three stacked lines) on the bottom right of the tab and tap Desktop site to launch its desktop version.
Want to go back to the mobile version? Just tap the Menu icon again and select Mobile site.
Activate Desktop Mode in Mozilla Firefox
To activate desktop mode in any tab on Mozilla Firefox, open the Firefox menu (tap the three dots next to the address bar) and turn on the switch next to Desktop site.
To deactivate desktop mode for the tab, re-open the Firefox menu and turn off the switch next to Desktop site.
