Overview

Easily Test Mobile Views and Access Device-Specific Content with Mobile View Switcher!

Ever needed to see how a website looks on an Android phone or an iPhone? Want to access content that's only available to mobile users or test your website's responsiveness? Mobile View Switcher gives you the power to change how your browser identifies itself to websites by modifying the User-Agent string.

Key Features:

Simulate Mobile Devices: Quickly switch your browser's User-Agent to popular mobile profiles like Android or iOS with built-in presets, or define your own custom User-Agent string [cite: uploaded:mobileview/options.js].
Global Control: Set a single User-Agent that applies to all websites you visit. Choose a mobile profile, a custom one, or easily revert to your browser's default [cite: uploaded:mobileview/options.js].
Per-Domain Overrides: Need more granularity? Configure specific User-Agents for individual websites. For example, make example.com load as an iPhone while google.com loads as Android, and let all other sites use your global setting or the browser default [cite: uploaded:mobileview/options.js, uploaded:mobileview/background.js].
Simple Configuration: Manage all your global settings and domain overrides through a clear and easy-to-use options page [cite: uploaded:mobileview/options.html].
Why Use Mobile View Switcher?

Web Development & Testing: Essential tool for developers and designers to preview and test how websites render on different mobile devices.
Access Mobile-Only Content: Some websites offer different features or layouts for mobile users; this extension helps you access them from your desktop.
Potential Bandwidth Savings: By requesting lighter, mobile-optimized versions of websites, you may potentially use less data on some sites (though this depends on how the site is built).
Mobile View Switcher uses the modern and efficient declarativeNetRequest API [cite: uploaded:mobileview/background.js], ensuring minimal impact on your browser's performance and privacy by modifying headers without needing to read website content.

Install Mobile View Switcher today and take control of your browser's identity!
