google chrome desktop view?
Options
I'm using Google chrome browser on my 10" tablet and because its essentially designed for smaller mobile screens all web pages are very sparce (8 words and 1 huuuuuuge picture)
there is an option to view "desktop version" but I have to choose it for every single web page I open, even revisiting or clicking back button defaults back to mobile view - this must affect some mobile users too who prefer regular desktop view (eg so they can actually buy stuff online)
have Google forgotten that tablets are also using Google OS and apps
I've even tried saving link/URL to desktop view but it still defaults to mobile view
grrrrrrrrrrrrr
turns web browsing into a drudge

When will the "Edit" and "Quote" button get fixed on the mobile web interface?

It's fixable on rooted devices.. or apparently there's a way of launching Chrome that'll fix it:

Try Dolphin Browser adding the relevant add-on from Playstore (Dolphin Desktop Toggle).
That remembers the Android/Desktop choice. There are other Dolphin Addons you can add later if you like it.0 -
