Chrome has a feature that requests the desktop version of sites, but some websites don't oblige, and continue giving the mobile version.   Is there any way to force them to give the desktop version? I'm open to using any Android version, any browser, root permissions and Xposed Framework.

I have the following browsers on my phone:   stock Dolphin Mini Opera Mobile Firefox   I don't want to set a catch-all default because some pages render better on some browsers than on others.  When I click on a link on a non-browser app (e.g. google search or google reader) it asks me which browser to choose (as expected).  Can I set a default browser for some pages and a different default for others?

I'm using Chromium (Version 30.0.1599.114 Ubuntu 12.10) under Linux. I'm trying to access  that claims that it doesn't work under Linux. Of course, this is most likely crazy since the web is platform-independent (unless they're using some kind of evil plug-in).  I've used a user agent switcher to supply a Windows user agent, but to no avail. Upon viewing the source, it appears that the site is using Javascript to determine the operating system. I'm looking for a way to get my browser to report in Javascript that it is Windows or MacOS.  Do you know how to do it?

Can we add functionality to the mobile site to view the page in the SE iOS app? It could be through  or a link at the bottom where the download link is.        I really don't care which, but right now there's just no way to do it.

How do I change the default new tab page in Google Chrome (version 41 on Win 8.1).  I want it to point to an HTML page on my own computer - the same page in fact as I am using for my home page.

Goal:  Have a desktop shortcut that opens  , ignoring the contained web app manifest that otherwise "overrides" the saved shortcut to  and with "display": "standalone".  I had this working previously on an older Android phone before a replacement / upgrade.  Prior to the upgrade, I was able to long-press and open individual articles in new tabs - as well as copy link shortcuts to specific articles, as well as all of the other features and functionality that Chrome has to offer.  Here is just a partial selection of references of other users complaining about the same:       Using  provides a temporary successful work-around.  However, I can't find a successful way to add a link for this to my home screen.  The "Add to Home screen" option within Chrome instead saves a link to  - and in such a way that it opens as a web application instead of a web page within Chrome:       On a desktop operating system, this would be a non-issue.  (Create shortcut, enter desired URL, done.)  Attempt 1: Provide my own Manifest  So I created my own manifest - editing  to change the start_url attribute to https://news.google.com/news/i#0, and the display attribute from standalone to browser.  I then created my own HTML page that simply contained the below - then self-hosted both on a local web server:  &lt;html&gt;         &lt;head&gt;                 &lt;Title&gt;Google News&lt;/Title&gt;                 &lt;link rel="manifest" href="/news/manifest.json"/&gt;         &lt;/head&gt;         &lt;body&gt;                 Test         &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt;   However, this doesn't work:  Despite the shortcut being saved with the desired name and icon, it links back to my self-hosted HTML page, and not the indicated start_url.  Unfortunately, it appears that cross-domain URLs are not allowed per the manifest intent - as per  and  .  Attempt 1b: MITM website  Within the confines of my own local network, I figured I could try to  (MITM) the website to temporarily provide a desired manfiest to use for addition to the home screen.  Unfortunately, the website uses  here, which appropriately blocks the attempt.  Regardless - this is way too much work for what should be a simple effort.  Attempt 2: Widget Bookmark  Unfortunately, it looks like the 1x1 bookmark widget was removed in Chrome 48, as per  .  The suggested work-around is to use the "Add to Home screen" feature within Chrome.  Goto 10 / see beginning.  Attempt 3: Use the default-provided "Internet" browser  Unfortunately, using "Add shortcut on Home screen" in the default-provided "Internet" browser produces the same result as Chrome.  Consideration 4: Use a custom app / widget  Could probably write and install a custom application or widget that could be added to the home screen to meet the goal.  Or don't re-invent the wheel, and use an existing one.  Some possibilities:   "More Shortcuts":  "Shortcut Customizer":    Conclusion  How can someone create a desktop shortcut to an arbitrary URL, ignoring a provided web app manifest?

I want to quickly try some Javascript code on Android phone.   I cannot find how to open console or something similar on either Chrome or default browser. about:debug doesn't do anything, and I don't want "remote debugging".   I can download another app if necessary (but I don't want to root my device).

At the moment I am using damn slow dialup internet and desperately need a link to switch to mobile site for faster browsing.  There should be a link to switch to mobile site also in desktop web browser.

It looks like it's currently not possible to view the revision history of a post from the mobile site. I think it would be a lot simpler than loading the desktop site on a phone just to get the revision history.

How do you prevent programs from obnoxiously opening the browser on their own accord?  It's unbelievable that programs/developers feel so entitled as to A.) open another program on one's computer, and B.) then have the gall to browse to whatever site or advertisement they so please.  cough...

There doesn't seem to be a chromium (or Google Chrome) port available in Ubuntu Touch (OTA10.1, bq M10). Does one exist, or are there any plans to have one (even without touch / small screen optimizations)?

In the website some Meta tags are coloured differently. I think this should be replicated on the android app.    Thinking about it I think the required meta tags, feature-request, support, discussion and bug should also be highlighted in some way, as they are on the desktop version.

There are situations I require to save a "complete" web page for offline reading. I can easily do that on Windows by saving the web page, but not on Android.  I am using Chrome on Android and I don't see a "save" option. Instead, I see "Save link" which, I believe, saves "only" the "pure HTML" version of a site of which the link leads to.  I have tried this but, when I view it in the HTML Viewer a lot of necessary CSS formatting and all the images were lost, which made the information misleading and incomplete respectively. (PS I thought I downloaded the complete page and the fault was that of the HTML Viewer for not rendering every thing, but I was wrong, as the desktop Chrome also displayed the "only HTML" version when I transferred those pages to my laptop through Bluetooth).  So, my question is: How can I download "a complete" web page on my Android smart-phone. It's OK if I can't view it on my smart-phone, but every thing should be in place when I view it on my laptop after transferring it. It is also OK if it is saved as a PDF file.  (PS I'm asking this as I use internet very often in my smartphone because my laptop is not connected to the internet. Also I want to transfer it to my laptop because I don't want to view those "important" pages on a small screen, it's inconvenient).

How can i install Chrome for just myself?  Background  By default, the Chrome installer will attempt to elevate, and install two system-wide services, as well as scheduled tasks. i need to run Chrome on a server that is not my own.   i don't want any Chrome footprint to exist outside of my user profile; and definitely not install any global services.  How can i have Chrome only for the local user?    Google does provide a      If you're downloading Chrome for your own user account only, use this installer:  »   But this "standalone" installer also installs two services.  This is complicated by the fact that this is a Windows Server 2008 R2 machine, with UAC disabled. If UAC were enabled, and Google's installed tried to elevate, i would deny it.  Although, i know from experience, that if the current user could elevate, it will refuse to install. If the current user is a standard user (i.e. is already running at the highestAvailable) it will install just for that user.  But this is not my server; i cannot change the global UAC settings. Even if decided i should change it, it server needs a restart before the new UAC setting takes effect. And the hundreds of users of the web-server would not appreciate it.  How can i install Chrome for just me?
