I was reading the NG on my phone and I just thought that it would be

What phone do you use?
Is a browser simulator easily available?
I use an Android phone but I don't believe it matters. I didn't request
an android app (of which btw there's only a single one which also
happens to be non-free) just a mobile version of the site. Shouldn't a
browser extension to see the mobile site suffice for that?
I believe an actual android app would require more effort and I'm not
sure it's worth it. Also Iphoners will want an iOS version as well.
I've just did a quick search for "mobile" in the chrome web store (for
chrome extensions) and it brings a bunch of emulators and firefox should
have simillar extensions.
I'm not sure what these extensions are capable of but I would recommend
a proper simulator to make sure it is as close to a real phone as
possible. Both iOS and Andriod uses Webkit, Firefox doesn't. I don't
know if these extensions would support swipe gestures for example.
