Standard versus Mobile Websites

Many websites offer a limited or smaller version when they detect a Browser
used on a smartphone or mobile device. Sometimes, the simpler versions
of these websites have reduced functionality. For example, simplified
sites often make it more difficult to enter information into forms or use
interactive services.

To see the regular version of the website, tap D > Request desktop site, and
the normal version appears, if it is available.

Full Screen Mode

Full screen mode allows more of a webpage to be visible on one screen.
Tap D > Settings > Labs.
