You could try MenuTab, but basically, it just displays either the mobile site
or the desktop site as they are. It's a little faster to get started, i.e. you
don't have to open Safari, but this is the only real advantage I notice.

I would just suggest either cycling VO off then on or restarting your Mac.
This is not normal behaviour so, something has become confused. The cycling

There are many, many, reasons why you might want to put Windows on your Mac
