How to force load desktop version of website (changing user-agent doesn't work)? Some webpages forces mobile version even I change user-agent.
I changed user-agent in built-in browser and "Dolphin Browser HD", 
I am checking it on page www.user-agent-string.info

Main problem is engadget.com, always in mobile version.
I tried to clean cookies, restart browsers etc.

This is my results:


in built-in browser, user-agent - "desktop"


(allegro.pl) doesn't work, redirects to mobile version 

in "Dolphin Browser HD", user-agent - "desktop" 


(NSFW: redtube.com) doesn't work, redirects to mobile version 
(allegro.pl) works fine

in "Dolphin Browser HD", user-agent - "IPad"


(engadget.com) doesn't work, redirects to mobile version 
(allegro.pl) works fine
(NSFW: redtube.com) works fine

in "Dolphin Browser HD", user-agent - "custom": Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0; rv:7.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/7.0.1


(engadget.com]) doesn't work, redirects to mobile version

Maybe this pages using "adobe flash" user-agent detection ?

This might have nothing to do with the UserAgent – but rather use other means of responsive design. Take my Android site for example: I don't evaluate the UA at all. Try the site with your mobile device, play with UA and Cookies all you want – unless you change your screen resolution, results will always be the same.

@media (max-width: 600px) {
  // adjustments for small screens go here
}


That's a snippet from my site's style sheets. You see, as soon as screen width (that's not the physical width of the screen, but the width of the browser window) drops below 600px, special CSS will be applied: to keep the content readable and focused, for example the tabs go from the left to the top (or bottom, depending on how the browser interprets the CSS), and several other things.

Which means: For such sites, the only way to "force the desktop variant" would be to play with screen density – which requires root and might have some unwanted side-effects (set the density too high, and you cannot read anything anymore as the fonts get too small, just to name a rather harmless example).
