I was wondering if anyone knew of a "simple" way to stop the "Simplified View" option in Android Chrome browsers when people visit my site and click on the option? When my site is viewed in "Simplified View," the table of contents links disappear along with most of the important content, and there is no way to navigate further into my website. I'm pretty HTML illiterate. So, I ask this question with the suspicion that I won't have the technical skills to follow through on your suggestions-- assuming there is a way to disable this option. However, I'm sure the information wont go to waste. Even if I can't put the suggestion to use, I'm sure there are others in the Web world with the same problem who might find the answer useful. Thanks so much!

You might try to find the specific things on your page that triggers the Simplified View option (here's an example), alas I don't know any details. The best general way might be to create clean pages, so that users won't feel the need to enable SV even if the option does show up.

Sounds strange that the important content disappears, since that's the opposite of what SV is supposed to do. If you post a link to the page maybe someone can take a look.

From what I've read users can disable SV by going back, so hopefully they'll figure it out.

Triggers? Do you mean it turns on automatically now? I thought user interaction was required.

From what I read you need to enable it, but if the Stackoverflow page I linked to is correct simple page content does not always trigger the option:

"once the font size was big enough to be readable on the mobile device I was using, it stopped suggesting the simplified view."
