Browser advice

[Guest Vansphone]

Sorry in advance, I do not know the correct terminology.

I want a browser that displays sites just like a browser on a PC.

As an example, when I access eBay from my Vega I get directed to the eBay mobile site rather than their normal site.

Is this an issue with settings or is it caused by the browser I am using.

I wondered if this was because Android was designed for smartphones so I might just have to live with it.

It's your user agent setting, I use dolphin HD browser and on that it's in - menu > more > settings > user agent > change this to desktop

Not sure where it will be on other browsers but it'll be there.

Thats it :D

Opera Mobile 11 is the full Opera experience (Dolphin is just a skin for the built in browser). Opera Mobile 11 uses the same core as their excellent desktop browser, and the same high level of standards compliance.

There is a setting in there to report itself as a mobile or a desktop browser....

It works REALLY well (and is designed for) tablets, and does flash.

Brilliant.

I already have Dolphin HD and have changed the settings. It works just as I wanted it too.

Thanks for all the help

You can change your User Agent string on most third party browsers

Miren, Skyfire and Dolphin are the only ones I know that make it east (Chrome/Desktop/Desktop)

But you can also do it on firefox or opera if you had to.

Thanks, I have just changed the user agent on the xScope browser. It is really easy =>more >settings >user agent >computer.

I can't remember why I downloaded xScope but it is not a bad browser, easy to add book marks.
