Desktop Browser Apps

One of the easiest way to access facebook or any other website in desktop mode is to use install browsers that loads every website in desktop mode by default. There are several apps available for Android and IPhone. I have already mentioned three apps for iPhone here. However, for Android you have to use any of the following apps.

1. Google Chrome: Enter www.facebook.com and then click on the three dots at top left side. Click on “Desktop Mode”

2. Desktop FullScreen Web Browser: This is another Android App that can be used to access any website in desktop mode. Install from Playstore here. The rating on Playstore for this app is very poor and most of the users have reported that it is not user friendly. Although it works but the user interface is not good enough.

3. My Desktop Browser: With 3.1 rating and annoying ads the experience of using this app is not so good but it works loading any website in Desktop mode. You can try it here.

Browser apps are the only way to access desktop version of any website on a mobile phone. These are some of the apps that can be used. However, make sure to search for any new and updated apps on the Playstore if any of the above app is not working properly.

The recommended app is Google Chrome as it works flawlessly and is being updated all the time.
