Anyway to lock AT forums in desktop view using Chrome (Android)?

I guess AT switched to this new mobile style layout a few months ago and it looks like total crap imo. I much prefer the desktop layout. Thing is that the only way to get it is to go to Settings and check Request Desktop Site. But it's not site specific and will make every other site desktop view, even google search results which I want in mobile.

I tried clicking the default style button on the mobile AT forums site but it doesn't appear to change anything.

Officially there is no setting for this however you could try the following:
* install ABD Drivers on your computer
* download from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29684848&postcount=1 the chrome-command-line.txt
* open your command prompt, type adb push /chrome-command-line /data/local/chrome-command-line and press Enter. Make sure your command prompt path is where you have saved chrome-command-line file.

Good luck,

I'm a Firefox user on Android, and use the 'Phony' addon to change the user agent string to 'Firefox Desktop'.
Chrome is supposed to remember the 'Request Desktop Site'; but some sites seem to break that.

Why doesn't the Default Style button work anyway? It literally only works with the iPad user agent string (not even iPhone).

On AOSP browser I set the user agent to Desktop and it seems to bring it up in desktop mode every time just fine.

The default style button doesn't work at all on Windows Phone. It's a old/broken theme or something.

This looks interesting. I'll try this out when I have time. Thanks
