How can I get the full interface (rather than the mobile interface) on an Android phone?
With Classic there used to be a check box on the log-in screen that allowed you to choose, but that is missing from the new interface.
The nameless browser has an option "Request desktop site", which I have checked, but it makes no difference.

Both Chrome and Adblock Browser do obey the "Request desktop site" option.

Thank you for that hint!
I'm attempting to remain Google-free, so I'm not keen on Chrome, nor, having read a bit about it, am I keen on Adblock, the business model for which somewhat resembles a protection racket.
But I've found an open-source browser (Zirco) that seems to do the trick.
Thanks again.
