Been using this app for a few years now. No issues, no problems. I love it. (Chrome)

Neil Hallen, 2024-09-11

Works decently well, and I love the ability to switch to the mobile version of youtube to save on resources... but doing so also forces my browser to switch to google docs mobile; which is bad enough when considering how it doesn't show distinct pages, and even worse when there seems to be some sort of bug preventing me from actually editing my documents in mobile. TDLR; There needs to be a way to selectively choose which sites are switched to their mobile equivalent, because using youtube mobile is great but using google docs mobile is horrible.
