How to make Google Chrome definitely remain as the desktop version?
Every time I use Google Chrome it returns to the setting for mobile.
There's a method suggested here, based on this XDA thread for both rooted and non rooted devices:
First Method: Download a file ( chrome-command-line
) mentioned in the article, change it's properties and place in appropriate directory, relaunch Chrome
Second Method: From the XDA thread linked, download ChromeDE.zip
and flash
Since I don't have access to PC, tried the second method and it worked. Chrome now opens in default desktop mode ( Moto X Play, 6.0.1, Chrome 52.0. 2743.91)
Download the file mentioned in first method above
Using adb
, enter
adb push /chrome-command-line /data/local/chrome-command-line
Thanks for asking this, I have been wanting to do this but was too lazy to search
Edit: User Agent Switcher app for rooted devices can do the same, and in addition offers a host of other choices and creating shortcuts
