Allowing to open page in desktop mode

[davidrsch]

I have been using the rvest package extensively over the past few months for web scraping, and I’ve found the read_html_live function particularly useful, encountring only an issue that I’ve already reported. During my web scraping activities, I noticed that some pages are not well-optimized for mobile mode—certain selectors and buttons do not function correctly.

Given this, I believe it would be a valuable feature to allow users to specify whether a page should be opened in a mobile or desktop Chrome window. Currently, whenever I execute the $view() method, the page defaults to mobile mode, and I haven’t found a way to switch to desktop mode. This behavior might be related to chromote, and addressing it could enhance usability.
