How to Load Desktop Site View in Samsung Internet

The Samsung Internet browser is a mobile browser that loads sites in Mobile view. However, it also offers the option to load the site in the Desktop view, which offers better visibility. Switching between the mobile and desktop view is instantaneous; the option is available under the Menu options list.

Nowadays, most website developers seem devoted to making mobile-responsive websites. But, still, the mobile version of the few websites doesn’t offer the functionality you expect. Therefore, almost all web browsers have begun offering desktop site view features; Samsung Internet is no exception.

Samsung Internet enables you to get the functionality of the website’s desktop version on your Android smartphone.

Some websites don’t do well on mobile because they are trimmed down to speed up the web page’s loading time. I prefer to use my mobile browser to enjoy Facebook, but whenever I try to change the privacy settings or want to manage my friend list. At that time, I saw the need for a desktop version of Facebook.

But not every time and everywhere I can access my computer every day, so I have come across several articles and got to know Samsung Internet’s desktop site view feature.
