In our default browser, we can set the type of the browser (desktop, iphone or android).
Open your android default browser and put this without quotes: "about:debug", then go.
in the browser's settings you can choose the type....
Sorry for my english!

I use a different browser than the stock one (Boat Browser) and I was wondering if there is anyway to get the Bookmark Widget to use that instead of the default browser bookmarks. Is that possible?
Anyone know a solution?
If you select your new browser as your default, I believe it should work.
I want to change from stock to opera or firefox but I seem unable to?

try to open a web page through a non-web browser (for example from your email), most likely it will pop up a selection box, let you choose which browsers to use, you can click the bottom selection to make your choice default.
Can anyone explain to me what forces a Web page to display in mobile view, especially if you have your User Agent set to Desktop view? Example, when I try to see www.news.com.au it always automatically changes to m.news.com.au which is built for portrait mobile phones, not landscape tablets which have enough screen size to display the desktop view.
Which browser? If its stock, how are you changing the UAString? Just tried that site and was able to bring it up without being redirected. I'm changing it through the hidden debug menu.

Can change the UA in Dolphin browser.
Can't change it on the stock that I can see, and it auto changes to mobile.news.com.au
(I'm still on the stock ROM until camera works)
Many websites will read the user agent string and change the website view based on that
In the stock browser go to about:useragent
the settings don't usually stay in place though if I remember correctly.
Dolphin HD - More -> Settings and change the user agent
Firefox - about:config and change the string or download an addon that will allow you to change it in the preferences pane
ROMs - I'm using Task 14 which has everything working including the camera. Only ICS ROMs don't have working cameras. Overcome has a stock ROM that is much better than stock and very stable. Task 14 is even better. If you invest the time in reading about doing backups and installing a ROM you won't regret it. If I had my tablet next to yours you'd be blown away by how slow your stock version is by comparison. Battery life is actually better too and I have the Tab overclocked.
In the stock browser, type in about:debug and hit go once. It will look like nothing has happened but go into settings and you'll see an extra debug menu. You can change the UAString in there. The debug menus will disappear when you exit out but whatever you set the string to WILL keep. This about:debug also works on my S2 as well.

Some websites display mobile versions if they find the word "android" in the browser id string, so it's not enough to change it to desktop. change the UA string to desktop windows or desktop mac os.
I have a couple of questions to which I have not been able to find any answers to.
Is there anyway that the default search engine in Android can be changed from google to something else of my choosing, e.g. startpage.com? I don't mean the browser search but the google search in android.
How do I set the default browser to be something other than the stock browser, i.e. clicking on links within other apps (like e-mail) would open my browser of choice instead of the stock browser? I'd like to use FF as my default browser but cannot find anywhere that I can set it as default.
I'm using stock GB 2.3.4.
For the default browser question go to settings>applications and find the current default browser. Click it and you should see a "clear default" button at the bottom. Open up a link and then it will give you the browsers on which you want to open the apps with. Click on wet as default and select the browser of your choice.
Edit: Go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>All

The google search engine is a widget. So you should probably try searching if there is a widget available for your prefered search engine.
@ephraim033. I forgot about the default flag settings for apps in the settings menu.
@iamafrk. I didn't realise the Google search was a widget. You learn something new every day. Unfortunately a widget doesn't exist for startpage.com. I wonder what's involved in creating one. Something I'll look into when I have time.
Is there another menu that can be accessed in the newly released chrome browser where things like default zoom or user agent can be set? I have tried lots of about:* things and chrome://flags and such to no avail.
