Unmobile for Chrome

Unmobile is a Chrome extension that automatically redirects from mobile websites (such as http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpaceX) to the desktop countertop (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpaceX, note the missing 'm').

Download

To install, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to chrome:extensions
2. Download the extension from here
3. Drag the downloaded file into the chrome:extensions tab
4. ???
5. PROFIT

Under the hood

Whenever the URL of any tab changes, Unmobile's event page checks the URL against all of the regular expressions in its redirect list. If any of them match, the hostname (en.m.wikipedia.org) is replaced with the non-mobile version (en.wikipedia.org) with a regular expression defined in the list; the tab's URL is then replaced with the new URL.

Every day, Unmobile will attempt to download and update itself with the latest list from GitHub (see redirect.json).

Changelog

0.0.5 (May 16, 2014)

• Fixed regular expression bug. Update your block list to get the fixed version.

Quirks

unmobile.crx (the actual Chrome extension) is stored in this repository; if you submit a pull request, you shouldn't update this file (since it's signed with my private key). The icon files (both SVG and PNG) are distributed; to regenerate the PNG images, run convert.sh in assets/images/.
