I use the Chrome in my laptop with Windows 7 OS, and the Chrome on Windows provides a Device Mode
(shortcut is F12
) so that it can simulate a specific mobile device to get and display a Web page in a Chrome tab as follow.
However, such Device Mode
is only limited on a single Chrome tab, so when you close the tab and open a new one, the new tab get and show the web page as normal, not as in the Device Mode
.
So my question is How to set the Device Mode
permanently, and when I open a new tab in the Chrome, it runs on Device Mode
by default. Is there any method or plug-in can help me to achieve it?

Chrome inspector mode is designed with testing in mind, and isn't intended for regular browser use. You might try a device simulator tool, like what's included in Xcode or Eclipse IDE.
Hope this helps.

You can open devtool automatically with chrome switches, so i suppose that you can reach your goal with the correct one... our only problem is that chrome's switches are thousands... that's the documentation, good reading :D (unofficial documentation here)

I believe that this is not applicable as Google created that mode for inspection purposes only not for navigating or viewing.
So you will need a smartphone simulator like the one which is provided by Android SDK or the IOS simulator which comes with XCODE on mac, or you can use a real smartphone of course, and you can inspect on it via your PC using ADOBE Edge Inspect extension on chrome.
