How to Load a Desktop Site on Your iPhone or iPad
RUSH: Let me deal with something quickly. An e-mailer asked me to explain something slower, I went by it too fast. I mentioned in the discussion of Twitter and how I'm Mr. Super-duper tech guy, I gave an example, my brother sent me a note, said, "Wouldn't it be great if you could load the desktop site, website, any desktop site on your iPhone."
I said, "You can. All you do is tap and hold the reload button in the address bar in Safari on your iPhone or iPad and you'll get an option to load desktop site or load without content blockers, if you have content blockers installed." So if you don't like mobile sites on your phone, you want the full-fledged thing, you can get it, provided the website officers it. The New York Post, I'm not sure they will load the desktop site on an iPhone. They will on an iPad. And it may not be the New York Post, but there are some sites that won't.
But the iPhone will give you an option, and the iPad, if you tap the reload button up there in the address bar of Safari, then you'll get the two options: load desktop site if possible or load without content blockers if you want. Try it. Works every time. There's all kinds of little things. Some of the most great hidden little tricks and features that I've never understood why they're hidden. But I've enjoyed finding them and passing them on.
