Download a "User Agent" switching extension instead that works for every website that you want to load in a Mobile View. What is a user agent? Basically info sent to a website so it will display the website properly to you. More specifically: I got this from wikipedia and translated it so the everyday person can understand it a little better: "When a your web browser sends it's request for a webpage it supplies info to the web server of that website so that it knows which version of the website to send back to you. The information sent to instagram.com (and every website) when you visit is: the specific web browser you are using (Chrome, Firefox, Safari), the operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux, etc), the device model (iPhone __, Pixel __, Galaxy __) and the software vendor (Apple, Microsoft, Google, Samsung) and the software revision (how up to date your software is)..." it's standard and has been done forever, it lets the web server know what content your device is capable of displaying properly, and how large the screen is on that device so that it is laid out in a functional way for you. I tried this extension trying to be lazy, lol, thinking it'd be a quick fix since DMs don't seem to auto-refresh on the desktop website for instagram (as of March 2023), and the F12 method (a debugging/coding console for web developers) reverts to desktop view when closing the code window. Its shady that this developer didn't simply provide an extension that delivers a different user-agent message to the instagram website for an untampered experience. Instead they are trying to monetize using something that is available for free to everyone already. I don't appreciate developers that try to take advantage of the normal everyday user who doesn't know any better. My suggestion to developers is to charge $3 for their extension or ask for a cup-of-coffee donation instead like the more forthcoming developers do.
