In Chrome on Android (or Chrome on iOS, if you use it), tap Chrome’s menu and check the “Request Desktop Site” box. Safari will refresh the page and pretend that it’s actually the macOS version of Safari. After a moment, a menu will appear at the bottom of the screen. The first solution is pretty self-evident, so let’s look at how to do the second. If this is the case, you’ve got two options: visit the site from a computer, or make the site think you’re visiting from a computer so you can get the full desktop version. Simple things are normally still possible, but digging deeper into settings menus or more complex options won’t work. Sometimes, even if a site has a mobile version, that mobile version won’t have all the features of the full site. Responsive design works great and is-relatively-easy to implement for simple sites you just have to make sure things resize dynamically for smaller screens. Problems, however, can occur with more complex sites and web apps.
Like with Flash websites, the best options are to try again on a computer or just confine the site to your mental “never visiting again” list. If you’re viewing a website on your smartphone and everything looks small and funny, odds are it’s because the designers didn’t use responsive techniques. Below, you can see two screenshots: one is the mobile version of this website, and the other is what happens when I force my iPhone to display the desktop version.Īlthough the desktop version of most sites isn’t entirely unusable on a mobile, it can be an unpleasant experience: you need to zoom in to read text, some elements like images might not display properly, popups might be difficult to get rid of, and dozens of other small issues can drive you insane. Like with Flash, most modern website have changed with the times and adopted responsive design ideas-basically, the website adapts itself responsively to the device that’s viewing it. There’s no guarantee that anyone looking at your site has a 13” screen (at a minimum), a mouse and a keyboard anymore. With the rise of smartphones, designers have had to start thinking outside the box when it comes to websites. Otherwise, just ignore the site and move on it’s caught in the past anyway. If it’s really important you visit the site, try again when you’re at your computer. If you do encounter a Flash website on your phone, there’s not a lot you can do.
But if you’re trying to access an older website, you might run into problems if it relies on Flash. Almost all modern websites have moved on to other, better technologies.
