[Q] How to disable mobile website viewing?

Anyone know how? I would like to be able to view some regular websites on this.

I know in Dolphin you can from within settings. And skyfire has a quick user agent switch button at the top.

Simply click on the price from the viewing page, where it only shows the app name, dev and logo. And it will download and install as long as you don't view its details' page.

Remember to hit the "Thanks" button when someone helps you!
Xda has an official app that you could use, or you could use tapatalk which allows you to browse many forums, not only xda.

Thanks. I am typing from home at this time but I downloaded the xda app. Apparently, this app assumes you go directly to the app to read the forum. Is there a way to configure so when you receive an email notification from the forum to launch the app and go to that particular post?

Why Chrome?

So after updating to ICS decided to download Chrome. After doing so i found out 'NO FLASH', what gives? I did a search and found out this was known back in February. Regardles of this why push something only to criple it? Is Google becoming Apple or why didnt Adobe include Flash support for Chrome? I guess stuck with Dolphin or now try and use stock browers. What do you guys think of this? I am a bit pissed.

If something like that pisses you off, then you need to take a step back and take a deep breath.

As if you did not Chrome does not have flash. Flash is buggy and crashes and just crap. Any website that forces flash is pretty useless.

i beleive that the lack of flash is directly related to adobe's decision to stop releasing new iterations of mobile flash. the updates that adobe pushes are merely fixes for the current version of mobile flash. there will be no new version releases afaik.

Chrome
- fast
- sync with desktop
- did I say fast?
win
TBH stock ICS browser is pretty fast IMO not hard to keep it around for the occasional use of flash. Anyhow flash is on the way out with no more official support in 4.1. Wouldn't want to be an adobe shareholder
Only reason why i am asking is because i browse several website that run flash. Not really wanting to have different browser for different sites, but it looks like i will need to.

Not having Flash support on mobile = not having full web experience
even thought Flash is in its way out, it still relevant and widely use in a lot of popular sites (hulu, dailymotion, local news web sites etc) yeah they all offer mobile apps or mobile sites, but that is not the full web experience is crippled experience. The main reason I have an android is to be able to watch every freaking site like on my desktop and watch videos from earthcam and firstrowsports, if 4.1 is not going to have flash support then I'll just move to apple.
hmmm... before i use chrome... i have a little bit hesitation because it dont have flash... but some of the site has start supporting html5 and most of the flash site i used to browse also have no problem being open in chrome...
Adobe Flash Player for Android will die in a month, there is no reason to support it on a new browser. Read this
Have you tried Flashify?

There a few sites i visit that run flash and i tried to run them in stock browser and they DO NOT work so stock browser does not suppprt all flash running sites. I have reverted back to Dolphin for tab.

Opera Mobile is the best browser for me not only because it reads flash but it's the one and only to have dynamic text formating ability.. With other browser when you zoom in, text is cut on left and right side.
Adobe stopped flash development in Android devices , it's no longer supported
Not supported by Adobe. But there are still tons of sites which use flash on the Web !!
I can't recommend Firefox nightly enough. Fastest, most smoothest browsing experience yet.

Boat browser is my daily browser, it also does dynamic text formatting (has to be switched on in settings). I use opera also but boat o find easier to use and lighter.

I seem to have settled on stock ICS browser and Dolphin as a backup up. I can run the few websites I browse.

Yes, Opera have been the best for a long time. I've gotten used to the start page together with Opera Link to sync favorites etc. They have been lazy on updates and bug fixes on mobile version though... too many old bugs.

Web Browsing - Desktop or Mobile Version?

Web Browsing - Desktop or Mobile Version
When browsing the web, do you guys prefer to use the desktop version of a page, or the mobile version?
Some websites look better in desktop, some look better in mobile version so.. It depends on the website.

If they really worked well on mobile version, then go for it. I usually prefer desktop version, I got 4.7 inch screen anyway.

Normally always in mobile mode. However, i've found that desktop works better in some cases (entering fields)
Desktop, always. Unless there's something up with the website. Then I use mobile.
