Features & Capabilities

Desktop Everywhere is a handy WebExtension designed to automatically redirect mobile website URLs to their desktop equivalents. For example, it converts links like https://mobile.nytimes.com/ to https://nytimes.com/, providing users with the fuller desktop browsing experience even when they start on a mobile link. This extension uses a whitelist approach to manage which redirects are applied, ensuring reliable functionality.

Users of Firefox on Android can enhance this experience by ticking the "Request desktop site" option in the browser’s hamburger menu, facilitating better compatibility with desktop sites. Desktop Everywhere encourages contributions via GitHub issues or pull requests to expand the list of redirects supported, making it a community-driven tool aimed at improving web navigation for users who prefer desktop views on mobile devices.

Is Desktop Everywhere Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Desktop Everywhere requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Desktop Everywhere is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
