How come Opera for Android still doesn't support Android Desktop Mode? I've been trying to use it with Samsung DeX and it's unusable. Most major phone brands support some sort of Desktop Mode now E.g. Pixel, Samsung, Huawei, Asus, Oneplus, Motorola, etc.

I know it's a small percentage of users, but please consider optimizing for this.

@fitzydj Have you actually used this? Getting desktop websites doesn't help with anything. There's no popper navigation. I also can't even enter full screen mode properly. When using seek bar in the full screen video Opera navigation buttons get activated constantly. There's a whole lot of issues.

@max1c It works in other browsers?

@leocg Yes, of course. Most other browsers support these features including Samsung Internet, Chrome, Edge, Vivaldi, Kiwi. Opera is the only major browser that I know of that scales up the UI and doesn't have desktop like tabs in this mode.
