Store description excerpt
DeskView is a minimalist browser with one clear goal: view websites in their desktop version from your phone — the ones that always serve you the reduced mobile layout on iPhone whether you want it or not. Safari's "Request Desktop Website" only changes how the browser identifies itself, but leaves the viewport narrow, so many sites keep showing their mobile design. DeskView forces the real width: the desktop layout actually kicks in. NEW IN THIS VERSION • TABS. Open as many as you like and switch without losing anything: each keeps its page, its scroll position and your signed-in session. Press and hold a link to open it in a new tab. And if you tap something in history that you already have open, it jumps to that tab instead of loading it again. They're optional. • READER MODE. One tap leaves the article with only what matters: no menus, no sidebars, no banners. Large comfortable text, with dark mode. Tap again to go back to the normal page. • DATA SAVER with three levels. Requests are blocked before they reach the network, so the saving is real: nothing is downloaded and then hidden. – Light: no images or video (~60-70% less). Most sites still work normally. – Text only: also no fonts or stylesheets (~80% less). – Extreme: also no JavaScript (~90% less). Each level tells you what it blocks and what you'll notice. • AUTO-RELOAD. Press and hold either reload button and pick how often the page refreshes, from 5 seconds to 5 minutes. Perfect for dashboards, live scores, or waiting for something to change. It pauses when you leave the app and stops after half an hour, so it can't quietly eat your data. • MULTIPLE BLOCKLISTS. Each list is stored separately: enable, disable or delete it without touching the others. The 50,000 domain cap is per list, so several lists add up. REAL DESKTOP MODE • 7 widths in one tap: 480, 640, 768, 1024, 1280, 1440 and 1920 px. • Browser identity (user agent) picker: Safari (Mac), Chrome (Windows) or Safari (iPhone), independent from the width. AD AND TRACKER BLOCKING • Import domain blocklists from a file or a URL. • Native, efficient blocking that persists between sessions. COMFORTABLE BROWSING • Favorites (now removable from their own menu) and history. • Your choice of search engine: DuckDuckGo, Google or Ecosia. • Find text within the page. • Normal reload and reload without cache. • Share the current page. • Persistent session: your logins survive closing the app. • Reopens the last page when you come back. MADE YOUR WAY • Customizable toolbar: pick which buttons to show (up to 5) from history, favorites, find, share, reader mode and tabs, and drag them into the order you want. • The bar hides as you scroll and returns when you scroll up. • Experimental night mode for any website. • Optional pinch-to-zoom. • Export and import your data to move devices. FOR THE CURIOUS • JavaScript console, page source, and a built-in mini game that doubles as the offline screen. P
