(bookmark syncing) certain m. links do not go to the full desktop version of a site when opened on a desktop computer

Reported by billdill...@gmail.com, Jan 3 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/55.0.2883.87 Safari/537.36

Example URL:

Steps to reproduce the problem:
Forgive me as I'm not actually sure this is Chrome's fault or more of an 'evangelism' issue but I don't know where else to post this. Here is the issue: I have Chrome on my iPhone, I have a lot of bookmarks. I have those bookmarks synced to my laptop. For certain websites, and I'm talking major websites such as Facebook and Twitter, the bookmark URL on my iPhone is https://m.facebook.com/Google/ and https://mobile.twitter.com/google . When I open those links on my laptop, it opens those m. versions of the websites on my laptop instead of the full desktop versions. Youtube behaves correctly though: I'll have m.youtube.com/watch videos bookmarked and when I open them on my laptop, it redirects to the full desktop version of the videos, it's excellent. All websites should behave the way youtube does when opening m. links on a desktop computer

What is the expected behavior?

What went wrong?
see above

Does it occur on multiple sites: N/A

Is it a problem with a plugin? N/A 

Did this work before? N/A 

Does this work in other browsers? N/A

Chrome version: 55.0.2883.87  Channel: stable
OS Version: 6.1 (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2)
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 24.0 r0

Able to reproduce it Win 10,Ubuntu 14.04 & Mac 10.12.2 using 55.0.2883.87/95 and 57.0.2976.0.
Untriaged it to get addressed further.
And something else about this that bothers me is: I've got my phone right now, there's a website that has a link to a 'full' desktop tweet, and when i tap on it, it redirects it to the mobile.twitter.com version of the tweet because I'm on a phone. So clearly twitter knows how to do this, they just haven't done it for desktop computers. Again, youtube is the only major website I have found so far that behaves as it should (I'm assuming this is not Chromes fault but I don't know for certain)
I guess this should be categorized under the Bookmark Syncing issues?
