Pale Moon forum

Why does Pale Moon open "the mobile version" in some sites, not the desktop version?

For example, this site (https://vigilantcitizen.com/) would open in "the mobile version".
But, it would open in desktop version if I open it in another browser.

This also works:
"general.useragent.override.vigilantcitizen.com" = "Lynx"

Solved.

BTW, that's Lynx text-based web browser?

To simply put it: It's not Pale Moon opening the mobile versions of websites, it's websites displaying the mobile versions of websites to Pale Moon. The reason why this happens to due to unreliable User agent sniffing which is a practice that should've died out years ago.

Off-topic:
Why is your username "GMforker"?
Do you fork Greasemonkey for Pale Moon?

The answer is yes twice.

It will be my last off-topic here:

That explains it.
