Did anyone find a way to set the user agent to desktop on the Chrome browser? I couldnt find where to do so. I even do about:debug but i got nothing. Chrome is already my favorite browser but its really annoying without able to change the user agent
So is there a tweak, or sth that will make the browser stay on dekstop,
Please answer or post link to thread.

Hi so I'm having some trouble changing the UA string on the default google browser on my atrix. I'm trying to change the webpage view to the desktop view. I open the browser and go to a webpage that is displaying the mobile format. I enter "about:debug" and click go and that allows me to access the extended settings where I find the UA string. I change it to Desktop and click the home button. I open up the browser again and still the webpage is in its mobile version. It's pretty frustrating and I can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong. I prefer to view the webpages in its original format instead of the mobile. I know other browsers such as Dolphin allow for this but I want to take advantage of the new Google Instant preview and those browsers don't allow that. Can someone help me out here I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
I know that using the about:debug will let me change the user agent to desktop however I work with some websites that require IE. Is there a way to fake the browser ID?
Does anyone know how to stop the lapdock showing the mobile site of facebook rather than the normal one every time i enter wwwdotfacebbokdotcom it loads with m.facebook.com?
create a shortcut in the dock.
no, just tried that sill reverts back to the "m" site ?
are you using the lapdock's firebox browser? or are you using the phone's browser while in lapdock's?
Its when using the firefox lapdock browser or the lapdocks facebook shortcut
Have you tried Dolphin Browser HD? In the initial setup, you can choose what kind of device you'd like the browser to tell the website you're using. Like say for instance, android phone, desktop, ipone, or ipad.
I tried accessing the facebook site from my lapdock's browser and it sent me to the non-mobile site. I don't know what could be going on with yours.
sorry. :\
Potential Fix for this issue
The problem everybody is experiencing develops when the initial request is sent to the Facebook server and the "user agent" string is sent. By default, the user agent string is set to Android, but can be set to Chrome Desktop to allow a full website experience. Some website's written or optimized for a specific browser may still disregard this setting, but Facebook does not, and will display the full site ... I have the laptop dock and this works.
In the firefox browser, go to the add-ins page and search "user agent". Install one of them and select "firefox 4" from the new menu. Reload the page and it should show the full version instead of the mobile version of the page.
You need to use a user agent spoof add-in to tell the facebook server that you are a full web browser and not a mobile web browser.
I have tried the top 3 user agent programs and connot find the firefox 4 option.
You say you have to spoof the web page, when I first used it it worked fine, and other users all say theirs work fine too without messing with the settings.
I have also done a hard reset on the phone so its not that, it must be somthing in the lapdock, -
question can the lapdock be reset in any way, I know it has nothing inside as such but pehaps there is somthing in there?
Install the add-on called "User Agent RG 1.0" and then under Tools -> User Agent, select "Firefox 4". You have to make this selection every time you open the firefox browser in the webtop as the setting is not preserved.
I think this is phone browser problem .
Hi,
I would like to know if there is an app that allows us to automatically refresh pages of an Internet browser (I already tried Dolphin browser with a specific add-on but it does not work). In fact, I usually check my professional emails using Chrome or another browser. The problem is that after a while (without refreshing), I have to enter a password (a long one given randomly by a device) what is very annoying! That could be avoided with this kind of app!
Thanks in advance for your help.
Hello,
I have an ACER Liquid E2 running Android 4.2
I have installed 3 web browsers, and I can see that some websites are much better browsed with one browser than with another. But it is not the same browser which best browses all the websites.
So I want to have a shortcut which points to website A with Chrome, another shortcut which points to website B with Firefox, etc. The problem is that when I create shortcuts to a website on my desktop, it always launches the default browser. And if I do not define a default browser, I have to say which browser I want to use each time I activate a shortcut. It is boring, and I do not always remember which browser is the best for each website.
So here is the question: is there a way to create shortcuts which are browser dependant and would permit me to associate one website with Chrome, another website with Firefox, .... ?
Thanks for any help.

Only thing I can think of off the top of my head is using each browser's bookmark widget (Chrome, Dolphin, etc). Not every browser has them, unfortunately, but you should be able to find a generic bookmark widget that you can substitute.

Hello es0tericcha0s,
Thanks for your answer.
Unfortunately, the shortcuts created from a browser bookmark seem to be nothing more than shortcuts to the URL. They do not seem to contain information on the browser to use. I have tried creating shortcuts from the standard Android browser as well as from Chrome, and they all behave the same: they use the default browser if it is defined, otherwise they ask which browser to use. The only difference is the look of the shortcut icon.
I was thinking that perhaps a one-line script could do the job. But I have not been able to locate the executable files for Chrome, Firefox, or the standard browser.
Could anyone help ?
