Switch to mobile site on standard browser

Question

At the moment I am using damn slow dialup internet and desperately need a link to switch to mobile site for faster browsing.

There should be a link to switch to mobile site also in desktop web browser.

While the link works, each site automatically switches back to desktop view after some time (haven't exactly measured but I think it's after about 2 weeks of non-visiting the site). Any way to permanently force mobile view (preferably across all SE sites)? — Janaka Bandara, Jul 5, 2020 at 7:23

@Kit many sites don't have such option at all.
