Firstly, no judging, my issue is with the Stuff website.

 

On my win10 laptop (13.3") with Chrome, whenever I go to Stuff, I get the mobile version of the website.

 

This has not happened with any other website.

 

How can I force Stuff to load the desktop version?

You used to be able to click "Desktop Site" at the bottom of the mobile page. Does that still exist?

Chrome mobile has a menu item 'request desktop site'. Desktop version I don't recall.

@Stu the bottom of the page?

 

I've never scrolled that far down before, but there it is, as you said, a link to go to Desktop site.

 

Thank you. :)

I guess my memory isn't completely fried yet!

Most welcome.

What do you do if a website doesn't have such a button? I have a problem with this website interest.co.nz showing in mobile view , and want to view the desktop site.
