Sometimes Mac Safari open website in mobile version, such as GoogleTranslate. How to solve it?


I use iPhone and iPad as well, but I never open google translate page using safari both on iPhone and iPad. Just use the GoogleTranslate App sometimes.


Why does my Mac Safari open google translate page in mobile version for no reason?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2), Safari version 8.0.3

If you use iCloud to synchronize Safari with a mobile device, you may be opening a bookmark to the mobile version of the site. Another possibility is that you're getting a Handoff activity from the device.

Remove everything from the URL except the domain name and try again. For instance, if the URL is something like this:

http://www.example.com/mobile

or

http://mobile.example.com

change it to this:

http://www.example.com

If you enable the Develop menu in Safari, Preferences, Advanced, you can test other browser User Agents to see if that makes a difference in how the website reacts.


These screenshots are from Safari 6.2.6 on OS X 10.8.5 "Mountain Lion", so your version of Safari 8 in OS X 10.10 Yosemite will have a different appearance.
