[Q] Websites displaying in mobile - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How do I get my defy to always display websites in desktop format?
I went into my browser, went to about:debug, went to UA string, and changed my options to desktop.
However, most pages still load the mobile sites. Any idea on how to fix this?

What browser are you using? Most have a user agent setting in browser settings.

Major websites will have an option to switch to their desktop version.

Dolphin Browser, Opera, Chrome and most every browser has a specific option, just look in the settings or at the bottom of the startpage, you should notice a label for display in mobile or desktop.

I am using the default browser and would prefer not to download a different browser. Is there a way to set it so that it always displays websites in desktop mode?

Default browser

Is there a way to change the default browser so the bookmark widget shows my bookmarks from Dolphin HD and not the standard browser?

U can add a bookmark to the homescreen and then open it with the dolphin browser.. if im right it will ask u with what browser it want to open it, then u choose dolphin. if it doesnt ask, u go to settings, applications, all applications, dolphin, scroll a bit down then clear default settings.
U click the bookmark again and it will ask
I don't think you can have the widget open the default browser.
They have a bookmark widget for Dolphin, but the reviews aren't that great.

how to make stock Android browser more compact

I like to use the stock Android browser because I can do the split screen thing. Problem is, the default settings take up way too much space for the URL bar, menu bar, etc and leaves less room for actual browser content. Is there some way to change to a more compact theme?
settings - labs - first checkbox
(or you could try dolphin browser)
Thanks!!

I like Chrome, but I think it's laggy compared to stock browser.
With some editing you can make any browser run in multi window. Search XDA.

How do I change icons, where's Chrome stored?

How do I change icons for things? For instance, the icon for Internet is a globe. How do I use the Chrome icon instead and call it "Chrome"? The phone asked me in the beginning whether I wanted "internet" to open Chrome, but although I see an Opera icon in the "installed programs", I can't find a "Chrome" program anywhere so that I can just delete the internet icon and put the direct Chrome icon there instead.
Go to apps, you should find a folder "Google", tap on it, you will find Chrome in it
