I regularly use a Chromebook to read FT and am not forced to use the mobile skin. IME once in a blue moon I end up in the mobile view after I use Google to search for site:flyertalk.com plus some search term and the indexed page for whatever reason is the mobile view.
You can switch back by clicking here:
https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/prof...ons&styleid=24
and setting your view back to "Use Forum Default"
or append ?styleid=24 or &styleid=24 to any FT URL in the browser bar (depending on whether it already has any CGI params)
