Requesting the desktop version of a Web site can be done in just a couple of steps.

1. 1. When viewing the mobile version of a site, open the menu and check the box located next to Request Desktop site. The Web page will automatically begin to reload in the background.

1. With the box checked, you will see the desktop version of the site loaded for only that tab. As you can see in the background of the screenshot above, the desktop version of Google has loaded.

To change back to the mobile version of a site, simply uncheck the same box. The page will again automatically refresh for you.
There’s nothing fancy to this method, but it’s one that is sure to come in handy. Some mobile sites are less than user-friendly, and getting to the desktop version of the site can be cumbersome at best. This new feature is a welcome addition to Chrome for Android.
