Hi

I know it's the way site is build, so app has less to do with it, but is there a way to disable or override it - for example by submitting always higher resolution than it really is?

I always use FF on half of the screen, but some sites have set minimal resolution of Responsive, higher than half of my screen (~1000x1000-taskbar).

Regards

Unfortunately, this would be extremely difficult to do, simply because there are multiple ways that the website developer can determine how to display responsive designs on your browser.

Sometimes developers use @media queries to determine the screen resolution and load a specified CSS file to change the website. There are also a number of other conditions that you can add to the media queries in order to determine what layout would be best for your browser.

Other times the developer has simply used percentages to set the size of different elements, rather than static lengths.

If you try to stop responsive website designs, you run the risk of breaking certain websites.

I wished that there will be a solution...

Seems that I need to live with this **** (it's not swear, but don't know how to call something useful, but useless the same time...).

Thanks for clarifying it to me.
