Mobile responsive design sites are adopted by most websites so that the users can view the entire page on their smartphone without compromise.

In this guide, we have shared the steps to enable and load the desktop site view in the Chrome browser app.

Enable the ‘Desktop Site’ option
The desktop site view helps view all hidden menus and options, just like we see on the desktop. The font size and elements might look smaller since we are visiting a desktop site on a mobile phone. Here are the steps to view the desktop site:
- Launch the Chrome app on Android.
- Open any website that you want to view in desktop mode.
- Tap on the More menu options.
- Select the checkbox against the Desktop site.
- The page will automatically reload and display the desktop site view on the mobile phone.
If you want to switch back to the original mobile view, then undo the checkbox on step #4. The page will reload, and you will see the mobile site view.
Bottom Line
You can experience the full desktop site view on Chrome Android by enabling the desktop view. The desktop view will automatically load on the small screen when you try to load the site.
Similarly, you can enable the mobile site view on a computer browser to view the responsive website layout.
