Temporary Mobile View

View current page in the mobile-friendly format by spoofing Android or iOS user-agent string on request header and JavaScript sides

Download

The Temporary Mobile View Chrome extension allows you to seamlessly toggle any website into its mobile-friendly version. By spoofing user-agent strings for Android, iOS, or Kindle devices, it transforms the page layout to match mobile views if supported by the website.

Switching is easy: click the extension's action button to toggle the mobile mode on or off. You can also right-click to select your preferred device type and customize user-agent strings in the options. Note that some sites redirect to mobile-specific URLs which may persist until manually changed. This extension is perfect for web developers and users wanting to preview or experience mobile site layouts directly from their desktop browser.
