[Q] how to switch browser to always do desktop browser? - Acer Iconia A500

Some websites force you into the mobile site and there is no option for switching it to full site, I was just wondering if there was a way to make the browser always do full site.
Thanks in advanced.

Assuming you are on 3.1
Easy. Go into browser settings, advanced, change it.

Trying to decide if this is a dealbreaker with my new Tab

Can only access mobile versions on many major sites... regardless if you use browsers that have desktop settings!
WTF SAMSUNG..... WHY DO YOU THINK WE OPTED FOR A BIGGER SCREEN???? THIS IS ONE MAJOR REASON. HELLO?
Man.. unreal.
Wondering if rooting in some way could enable circumventing this problem.
Actually might take it back for this.
Odd. using Dolphin HD i am able to change the user agent of the browser and browse either mobile or full version of the site.
Sometime after you change the user agent you need to clear your cookies and restart the browser. Have you tried this?

I just got it working like the post said above I clear cache, data, history in both stock browser and dolphin. Then opened dolphin and hit menu>settings>under dolphin setting select User Agent and select desktop. After doing that I was able to go to ESPN and CNN and it was finally not in mobile view.

[Q] Browse always incognito always

Is there any way in CM7 to set the browser to always automatically go into Incognito mode. I do not like cookies or anything of that nature and would like to always be incognito. Any advice?
I haven't used it in a while, but Dolphin Browser HD had the option to automatically clear everything every time you closed the browser.
It's not a setting in the rom but in the browser. It wasn't a bad browser either.
Yeah I know about dolphin, but I like the default browser implementation better, so I would like to use it all the time. Any other suggestions. Thanks by the way

[Q] Forcing non Mobile site question...

I am running the dexter rom 1.42 (which is the bomb diggity..Thanks Dexter) and i cant figure out how to force the stock browser to go to the non-mobile version of sites. i tried the About:debug thing but that doesnt work for the stock browser. i tried loading dolphin or Skyfire off the market and for some reason they wont show up when I do a search. can some one tell me how to set it up for non-mobile sites and tell me why i cant download dolphin or skyfire?...
Once you enter: about:debug, you must push the menu button(while still in stock browser), then select settings, and stroll to the bottom where the UAstring option we be to change to desktop.
For other browsers like dolphin go to android section in xda, and search through the android app and game sub-section
Hope that helped

Browser defaults to mobile instead of desktop

How do I get my defy to always display websites in desktop format? I want desktop to be my default settings so that all sites load this way and never realize that I am surfing the web from a mobile phone. I am using the default browser and do not want to (and should not have to) download a new browser.
What I did: I went into my browser, went to about:debug, went to UA string, and changed my option to desktop. However, most pages still load the mobile sites.
Does anyone know how to fix this? My phone is rooted.
Also, I have a tmobile bookmark and it is displaying as locked. How would I unlock and delete this bookmark?

Here's what I tried. Open browser, go to settings > advanced > user agent and selected Desktop. I then opened a website which has an android app but it opened up the website instead of redirecting me to get the app. I then changed the setting back to Android, restarted the browser and tried the site again and this time it took me to the app page. I'm using quarx CM9 on red lens defy.

I do not have an option in settings for "advanced". Are you using a default browser?
Here's a quick guide how to set the browser to show desktop versions of websites. Images are from Honeycomb 3.2.
