## Description

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.
