Setting up the user agent is imho very important for a good browsing experience. I´m missing the feature to setup an own user agent.
Google Chorme for Android offers this feature known as "Request desktop site"

~/.mozilla/mozembed/prefs.js Devel-su mode is needed.
about:config, but it only shows them.Notes:
cp prefs.js prefs.js.backupThis is not a detailed HowTo - for stability reasons. This is for users knowing what they're doing
@Wickedsten, this one isn't an easy solution, but I just added another option as a new answer.

Another option while waiting: Install webcat from Jolla Store, in this Sailfish browser there's already an option to change the user agent (nice set of pre-defined agents, and possibility to write your own)

While waiting for answers, you can often force the browser to show the mobile site via adding something to the url. In google sites (e.g. blog), adding /?m=1 to the end shows the mobile site - no matter what browser is used. However, forcing desktop view via removing that from the url doesn't work.

Kontio ( 2013-12-30 20:34:10 +0200 )editWhile still waiting, the user agent can be tweaked via developer mode. Or... You can use an Android Browser with a setting to enter it manually (like Dolphin browser)

dan.socea ( 2014-01-10 23:53:58 +0200 )editOne of the user agent options should be 'Android', for a proper mobile experience. This is my default setting in Evolution Browser in BB10, I avoid the native browser because it lacks this feature. Then just call all web statistics misleading.
