Emulate Mobile Phones on Desktop Computer

Hello,

One tool that I have found useful is the Opera mobile emulator. It is a browser-specific desktop app, but it has nice controls for different phones.

This is the official download site. I don't advise that anyone uses third-party download sites.

Pauland,

Thank you for the link. Absolutely, it is good to use reliable sources, but it has been a while that this tool has been updated, so I wasn't sure whether it still existed on Opera's site and I opted for a quick Google lookup. Good that it still does!

I would say essential. I will admit that your link made me so uneasy that I reported it to the moderators. I'm not sure why you trusted a google search to find a virus-free download source rather than look at the opera site directly. I did use google but specifically for the opera site.

There are so much malicious code flying around these days I would never advise anyone to download from 3rd party sites. Even if the operators have good intent, their payload may be hacked.

Can I suggest that you remove that link?

I would, if I could, but it seems that option is not available to me at this time. Sorry for the needless confusion.

So, I downloaded the Opera Mobile Emulator from the Opera site. For starters, I noticed that it doesn't emulate Apple products. Okay, I can live with that. So, I entered this URL: https://dividenddetective.com/beta. This is a URL that I have been regularly testing using my iPhone5.

Got this error message: " your tried to access https://dividenddetective.com/beta, which is currently unavailable. Secure connection: fatal error (70) from server. Handshake failed because the server does not want to accept the enabled SSS/TLS protocol versions"

So, I contacted my host, Siteground and the chat support person was able to access that URL w/o any issues. Any ideas??

Any ideas??

Yes, don't rely on emulators.
