I just upgraded my tablet browser to 1.12.113. It appears that the option to always use desktop mode is being ignored. See ubuntuforum.org for example. Description of the issue:
Description of the issue:
Mobile Brave browser is ignoring the setting for “Desktop mode.” When this option is used the browser still opens the site with the mobile mode
How can this issue be reproduced?
Point browser to site ubuntuforum.org
Expected result:
Site should display in desktop mode not mobile mode.
Brave Version( check About Brave ):
1.12.113
Mobile Device details
I am using Brave on a Google Pixel C tablet.
On my tablet I have Brave1.14.87 with Chromium 85.0.4183.102. I also have the Chrome browser installed version 85.0.4183.101
Reproduce problem:
In Brave, go to ubuntuforum.org. Checking the three dots, the option to Desktop site is selected. Also, in the settings, site settings. the option for Desktop mode is on.
Now, I save the ubuntuforum . org I select the option to Add to home screen. This creates an icon on my desktop. I close out of all browsers. I select the ubuntuforum . org desktop icon and open Brave. It opens to the mobile layout not the desktop layout.
For what its worth, if I use the Chrome browser and go to ubuntuforum . org, select desktop mode and then Select Desktop site, then save select Add to home screen, close everything. If I select the chrome ubuntuborum . org icon it opens the site in desktop mode as it should
