Is it possible to use desktop view of Facebook in IE11 on Lumia 520?

[Sarah Williamson1]

Just got a Lumia 1520 today and I love it. Much of a upgrade to my old Lumia 520. The screen is so big and clear. However, there is something that is bugging me. Mobile Facebook in the browser. It is now *so* big! All the letters are about 5 or 6 times bigger than they should be and it's very annoying to me.

Is there any way, a little tip or trick maybe, whereby you can go automatically to the desktop version of Facebook instead of the mobile version?

Thanks!

In the settings menu for internet explorer, you can choose to display desktop versions of sites rather than mobile versions - but this is a general setting for every site, not just something specific like facebook. You could always just switch it on and off as and when, if that suits you.

Facebook seems to not respect your browser option to show the desktop version of the site, so, the simplest way is to open the sidebar on the mobile page and select show desktop version. Unfortunely, it doesn't remember yout choice

You can use an app called UC Browser and in the app, change the Website Preferences to Desktop
