Summary

This extension switches the web view to the mobile version of the current website if the server supports it. This is a temporary view, so you can simply switch back to the default desktop view by refreshing the page. It is possible to use different devices from the right-click context menu (Android, iOS, and Kindle at this time). User-agent string for each device is also configured in the options page.

Notes:

  1. The user can insert custom CSS rules during the mobile-view switch which is useful to limit the browser's window width or to use custom font settings.
  2. To switch back to normal mode press the browser's refresh button
  3. To change the view mode, use the right-click context menu items.
