Redirect www.facebook.com links to m.facebook.com

Open couraudt opened this issue 6 years ago • 3 comments

When opening a facebook link with FaceSlim that starts with www.facebook.com/*, the full facebook website is rendered. If the FaceSlim could rewrite those kind of urls to the facebook mobile website m.facebook.com, we will be able to see the mobile version rather than the full website.

Thanks!

I've also found a few links directly on the mobile site (via FaceSlim) that bring up the desktop site, with a banner at the top stating "For a better experience on Facebook, update your browser".

To reproduce: Go to a friend's shared picture album (that displays all the pictures on one page), find one with multiple comments, and click the "XX comments" link. (Not "View previous comments" link.) Result is the same as this issue - it displays desktop site, rather than mobile site.

Examples of links where this can be reproduced:

https://facebook.com/zuck https://fb.watch/3DOkPOKrP9/ (in addition, the video doesn't play)

Related to #350. While having links open in the desktop app isn't that bad as it has a more modern design and it's responsive, it brings issues, like inconsistency (you should be able to choose if you want the desktop or mobile site) and inability to play videos (the latter could be fixed with #350).
