Oh wow, I can't believe I never thought of doing that. (Not sarcasm.) I guess I'm just accustomed to responsive design being so poor that any client side change borks eveyrthing.
I just tried that on Facebook, and it actually doesn't break the site, but moves it a little more toward the usability of the old design. Thanks!
Edit: With that said, "just zoom out" doesn't work on mobile: once you get to a threshold, at least iOS interprets further zoomout as "I want to see all my tabs". Bleh.
- iamben 6y agoHaha, no worries! :-) On mobile (Chrome/Android at least) you can tick the "Use Desktop" box and it'll display the full desktop site. You obviously have to pinch zoom in to actually read stuff (for the most part).
- SilasX 6y agoYeah I move to desktop on a lot of sites, but then n some it doesn’t make a difference because of the ugly mobile first. What’s worse, there was some iOS update that made double tap to zoom very rarely work.
- eurasiantiger 6y agoPinch zoom doesn’t work for that, but you can actually set the page zoom in the aA menu on the left of the address bar.
