Zoomable is a browser that provides a full desktop web experience. It simulates a large and resizable screen and shows the desktop version of websites, so you can stay away from those bad mobile web experiences. • Zoom freely between 1x and 3x. • Seamless transitions between portrait and landscape mode. • Supports full screen mode. • Save and manage favorites. • Lightning fast and super small install size. • Supports UI customization for both portrait and landscape mode. • Respects user privacy; the app only collects anonymous diagnostic data unrelated to browsing, and you can opt out. • [Pro] Multiple tabs. • [Pro] Customize themes. The app is designed for everyone, it works great with many websites. However, it is particularly useful for developers. For example, accessing App Store Connect and Firebase Console works great in this app because of the screen scale feature.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: ID Assistant at 100% against Desktop Browser's 64%. ID Assistant also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Desktop Browser's advantage is ratings volume (3.3K vs 7) and chart position (#22 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
