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.
