About this extension
Browse the Mobile Web on Desktop
If you frequently work in split-screen or narrow windows on a small laptop, you've likely noticed that many desktop websites remain in "grid" mode, making text unreadably small or content overflow. Force Phone View solves this by forcing websites into their mobile-optimized layouts.
Key Features:
• Mobile Layout Trigger: Constrains the page viewport to 720 pixels, a specific width that reliably forces sites to render in a single-column mobile view rather than a cluttered desktop grid.
• User-Agent Spoofing: Silently sends an Android Firefox User-Agent to ensure servers deliver the mobile version of their content.
• Split-Screen Optimization: Designed specifically for multitasking, making side-by-side browsing much more readable.
• One-Click Toggle: Quickly enable or disable the mobile view using a simple toggle button in the extension popup.
How it Works:
Once enabled via the popup, the extension automatically injects a mobile viewport meta tag and custom CSS to keep content centered and legible within a 720px boundary. It operates only on http and https pages to maintain browser security and stability.
Privacy-Focused:
• No Data Collection: Built with strict "none" requirements for data collection permissions.
• Lightweight: Minimal background resource usage.
