What is the "Temporary Mobile View" add-on and how can I use it?

This extension adds a button to the toolbar area of your browser. On button press, the extension switches the website to the mobile-view version if supported. Basically, when the button is pressed, the extension observes the network activity of the current tab and replaces the user-agent string for all the requests originated from this tab to a user-defined mobile string. This way if a web server supports a compatible web view for mobile devices, those resources are being fetched and rendered. Note that as soon as the page (top frame) loading is done, the network observer gets detached to prevent unnecessary monitoring when it is not needed. To switch back to the normal view, simply use the browser's refresh button. To change the device, use the right-click context-menu items. When a new item is selected, the extension automatically refreshes the current page to see the view in action

What are the user-agent strings for Android, iOS, and Kindle devices?

The user-agent strings are all configurable. Go to the extension's options page and alter them to match your needs. Note that this extension is not going to validate your custom user-agent strings. So change them carefully. In case you have messed up the strings, you can always use the reset button to reset all the settings back to the factory values. Note that each device has its own user-agent string. This string is usually used by the web servers to define the correct window size and font size for the webpage. So basically to get the best result, you will need to experiment with the different user-agent strings. Don't forget to share the ones that you love in the review section of this page

What is the meaning of the cache bypassing setting in the options page

This setting if enabled forces the browser to get all the resources from the server. Basically, it forces the browser to not use the local version of the available resources in the browser cache while performing the refreshing in the mobile view mode. Note that since all the resources are going to be fetched from the server, the loading speed might decrease, so if your goal of using this extension is to improve the page speed, don't use this option.
