Description

Mobile View Switcher is a lite extension that let you switch a website to mobile view. Default mobile view is iPhone with iOS 15 but you can change it from the options page. Simply add a desired user-agent to change the mobile view to your desired one. There are many websites that offer user-agent strings for various devices. Simply copy and paste the desired one in the designated area in options page. Then reload any website to see the mobile view UI (while the addon is active). Toolbar button serves as ON|OFF switch to enable or disable the addon. Grey color for toolbar icon is when the addon is inactive and yellow color is for the active state. Simply click on the toolbar icon to switch states. To report bugs, please fill the bug report form in the addon's homepage (https://mybrowseraddon.com/mobile-view-switcher.html).

Don't download this, it doesn't work on websites you might think it works on. And it's also funny how the guy in the video telling the instructions types that sounds like thudding. I just wanted to point that out.

Not working. Doesn't tell or let us choose which mobile version or user agent it is using. The one that is by default, only make desktop site into flat mobile site, thus serving no purpose. I tried adding more user agents by then it doesn't do anything. Well, dev, test your addon with real and several websites.

While the extension "works" from time to time, there has been an abnormal CPU usage while using it, The chrome process would average ~50% CPU usage after leaving the browser window open for some time. chrome task manager points at the "Chrome" process as using % however, after turning on/off all my extensions, once i turned off this one, the CPU usage dropped from 50% all the way to 5% while streaming 4K 60 youtube. If you have abnormal CPU usage in chrome / heat this might be the casue. not sure whats going on here

Does not work in chrome, the toolbar button simply does not appear. Useless.

This extension now auto-redirects to a different extension "User-Agent Switcher for Chrome" – now owned by Google – and no longer works in Chrome. Great.

Sorry but this extension didn't work for me - no toolbar icon appeared for it. The keyboard shortcut didn't do anything either. The extension was enabled and apparently working according to Chrome.

I tested it in FaceBook to see, it did not change to FaceBook mobile and I tested it in other pages, also on my own webpage, it did not change to mobile view, it only reloaded. It does NOTHING. That is why I give it 1 star.

enabling this extension causes my main chrome browser process to use 100% of a processor core after the browser has been up for a while, had to disable it

It works, it's just too bad there is not a way to activate the extension only for some sites using some kind of filters.

It does it work but the only thing is that there are not even a single alternative to the default mobile view device, and also I want the layout change completely like a mobile as some site's didn't worked due to responsive layout. I use this extension for bing and now it has a better option to change layout to phones of sites, also it has so many predefined devices, so better for testing layouts: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/eanofdhdfbcalhflpbdipkjjkoimeeod

Switches view for all Chrome windows, which is not desirable, should change only the current Tab.
