DeskView Browser vs Fullsite

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. PRIVACY No accounts, no ads, no tracking. Everything is stored on your device; the app does not send your data to any server of ours. WORTH KNOWING BEFORE YOU INSTALL • Biometric verification for some services (for example, signing in to Google with Face ID or passkeys) does not work inside the app: it is a limitation of iOS's web engine for third-party apps. Use password plus a code; your session is still saved. • DeskView has not been tested with every website in the world. It works great on most, but we cannot guarantee compatibility with every site. • Pinch-to-zoom is disabled by default for stability on very heavy pages. You can enable it in Settings. • Data-saving percentages are a rough guide: they vary a lot per site. • Reader mode needs the page to be an article. On home pages, search results or dashboards there is nothing to simplify, and the app tells you so. Interface in English or Spanish (also Catalan, Galician and Basque), matching your iPhone's language.

Mobile sites hide things. Buttons that exist on a computer are missing, tables lose columns, and sometimes the content you came for simply is not there. Fullsite fixes that by making websites believe they are talking to a desktop computer. Most "request desktop site" features change one line — the user-agent string — and stop. That fools a server and nothing else: the page still renders through a narrow phone viewport, so every responsive stylesheet takes its mobile branch anyway, and the site still hides what it hides. Fullsite goes after the part that actually decides the layout. It forces a real desktop-width viewport, so the rules that hide content stop matching. It removes the touch interfaces that tell a page it is on a phone. It supplies the request headers a desktop browser sends. And it keeps all of that consistent, so nothing contradicts anything else. WHAT YOU GET • The desktop version of sites that would otherwise force you to mobile • A built-in ad and tracker blocker — over 130,000 rules, on by default • Any tab can be switched to mobile on its own, without changing the others • Tabs that survive being closed, with your place on the page kept • Swipe the address bar to change tabs; pinch out to see them all • Private tabs kept in their own strip, so you never swipe out of private browsing by accident • Bookmarks and history, and a page width you can set yourself • Pages that load faster, because the ads never download SITES ON YOUR OWN NETWORK An intranet page, a router, a NAS, something behind a VPN. Most browsers on a phone fail these silently and leave you with a blank screen. Fullsite tells you what actually went wrong — the name did not resolve, nothing answered on that port, the certificate is not one this device trusts — and does something about it. It will try plain HTTP for a machine on a private network, ask before accepting a certificate from a company's own authority, and remember only that exact certificate, listed in Settings where you can take it back. BUILT FOR SPEED Fullsite is a few megabytes. Blocking runs inside the system networking layer with no JavaScript per request, so pages get faster, not slower. HONEST ABOUT LIMITS No browser on iOS can be undetectable — Apple requires every browser to use the same web engine, and a determined site can still find signals. Fullsite closes the ones that decide your layout, which is what changes what you see. You can check any page yourself: "What do sites see?" shows exactly which signals are still reachable.
