How to configure automatic "Desktop View" for a list of website?

more options

Hello, "desktop view" is very useful, and I use it for LinkedIn because the "mobile mode" is shitty (I guess to make/force people to install the proprietary and closed source LinkedIn app).

I found that "desktop view" is stopping working while activated, when you always keep a tab opened for days... I have to close the tab and open a new one to make "desktop view" working again.

I found too that "open in a new tab" action is not inheriting the view mode of the parent tab and that an issue when browsing the same website.

Could it be possible to have "desktop view" enable by default based on visited website?

Use the add-on "User-Agent Switcher", or use Opera.

Since version 133 desktop mode browsing is enabled by default for large devices. This can be controlled via a preference under Settings in "Site settings" previously named "Site permissions".

User-Agent Switcher is fine because the desktop view is not zoomed out. Perfect.
