    In Google Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers it's possible to add custom device information to the developer console, in order to make it easier to design websites for irregular devices.

    For instance, for the Switch, you can bring up the inspector, go to Settings -> Devices, and then add a new device with the following User Agent: "Mozilla/5.0 (Nintendo Switch; WifiWebAuthApplet) AppleWebKit/606.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) NF/6.0.1.19.3 NintendoBrowser/5.1.0.21761" and 1280x720 dimensions.

    add device image

    And then clicking the Device Mode button will show the Switch's screen dimensions and the target website will view you as visiting from a Switch. This makes development a bit easier / quicker if you have a site that does different logic on different devices, or need certain screen elements to fit.
