    Desktops and laptops make browing a large number of tabs easier and websites dont pare down the options and menus into a useless mess

    Theres some websites where I have to look at in desktop bersion on Firefox mobile because theyre useless otherwise. Digikey for example.

      Exactly. Why do sites decide “you’re on mobile, so you just don’t need to ever see such and such piece nformation”? I get that there’s limited screen real estate, but at least put that info somewhere, inside a menu or something.

      For big purchases you’ve got to have the desktop version of the websites, you need a mouse for precision pointing and a keyboard for alt+tab-ing between windows, plus you need a spreadsheet open where you can compile all your research.

        Or worse, “You’re on mobile, you need to download our app to view this content.”

        Meanwhile you switch to desktop view and see everything normally.
