Is there any way to add site specific settings for website regarding the view? I'd like to get google.com in mobile view, but for the rest, I am pretty happy with classic view on the Flyer....

Yes, but there is now universal solution. You have to check for every web page which setting is used.
google mobile
google classic
I hope these links help you?

do any roms not use the browser that is full screen and auto inserts http://www. when you click the address bar?
If you just want a different browser, D/l one from the market. Firefox and Opera have mobile browsers.
Opera Mobile has a separate search bar next to the url bar for google searches (just assuming that's why you dont like the http:// showing)
it's in the market for android, but here's a url for more info as well:
http://www.opera.com/mobile/features/
There's also opera mini, but if you want a browser more like a desktop browser, you want the mobile one.
You wont get the AOSP browser until an AOSP ROM appears for the thunderbolt. The HTC one is edited and customized, like the WWW thing you don't like.
<sigh> i feared that. I started to try to break apart the HTC browser to look for options like fulls screen etc with no luck, any chance anyone else has done the same and gotten more results?

Too bad it caps LTE at 1.5mbp
Many websites recognize when a connection is being made from a mobile device; some give an option to view their mobile site, others automatically load it.
I want to be able to access the internet from my phone, but have all websites think I am a PC, NOT a mobile device. How can I accomplish this?
I have encountered several websites that offer mobile versions of their site for a price $$. These sites will not display correctly on my phone if I go to the normal site vs the mobile site. I believe that they are purposely blocking website functionality to mobile devices because they want people to pay for access to their mobile site.
Flash CM7 or the latest trigger...

Thank you for pointing out the "user agent" key word, this helped me find the information I was seeking.
For non-CM7:

Get Dolphin Browser HD and change user agent in Settings.
For a few days now, my touchpad is redirecting to mobile-sites.
For example: when I want to visit: www.hln.be , I get redirected to m.hln.be.
This is very anoying because the screen is perfect for non-mobile sites.
How can I change the settings so I always go to the non-mobile sites?
Just scroll to bottom of page and choose to view the normal site?

What part of "always" don't you understand?
He wants to change the user-agent, so that the Touchpad always goes to the desktop version, like on Android, where you can chose desktop or tablet.
Would love to know as well, as occasionally I come across a mobile website, which is annoying (and they often don't have a view full version button...)
Even on Android that doesn't always work though, I do dislike websites that think they know better than I do what I want
The worst abuse of it is sites that user agent sniff and think Opera is only a mobile browser and give you the mobile site when you're on a desktop PC
McDonalds used to have this problem and runnersworld.com
Maybe if you install the Hulu Fix from preware it will fix the problem since it changes the user agent to Linux.
Not sure if it will work but you can try.
Thanks to the awesome power of Google, I found the path to the "UAString" setting.
Many posts on XDA are a little more advanced than NOOB that refer to this setting.
Why would you want to have the browser default to desktop view? Because we have big screens and most mobile sites are HUGE on this screen. This post is not about auto zoom.
Open the Default Browser, type about:debug in the address bar.
Open the menu in the upper right hand corner.
Open settings.
Bottom left panel, open debug.
Third down on the right, open UAString.
Choose desktop from the popup menu.
"What did I just do?" You set the browser to identify the tablet as a desktop. The internet is so smart that it displays pages according to the type of device requesting the page. But internet thinks Android is a mobile platform and sends you a mobile view by default. Pretty cool, huh? So now you've outsmarted the internet. Sit back and enjoy.
PS: I did search the forum. I couldn't find out how to "set the UAString", thus, the new thread.

Well documented. Props! Btw this should work for all if not most android devices and the stock browser. People may choose to do this if they don't want to have several different browsers.

cool find but why can't you just select "request desktop site" from the menu? I already had that selected and desktop was already enabled in the debug settings.

Seems like that box is website dependant. If you go to another site, you have to check it again, like it's cookie or cache dependant.
So this method sticks after browser is shutdown or device reboots? Or will these need to be applied every time?

I'll just stick to ICS browser +.They got it right the 1st time.

I believe you have to request desktop site every time you open a new tab in the ICS browser, which is quite annoying if you always want to open websites in 'desktop' mode.
even with the ua string set to desktop it would still bring up mobile versions of sites for me all the time. quite annoying.
Is there a browser which is able to view sourcecode of a web page ?

Not aware of any browser per se (though this is a great idea for a Dolphin AddOn)
Did find two free apps in the play store: View Web Source and View Web Page Source Code.
Creative naming of apps, right? lol.
haven't found any mobile browser that can view webpage source. But I agree that it may be a great idea for dolphin add-on. LOL
