Or, you're exactly what he described you, a pathetic troll. Anyone can see that by scanning your posts and noticing that they are 100% negative, not ONE positive comment towards a single Apple product.
I can't even imagine how pathetic my life would need to be, in order to compel me to post incessantly on websites dedicated to companies I despise. Maybe you should ask yourself why you derive enjoyment out of it? Why you would contiguously check a website called "AppleInsider", register on the forums, and posts regularly, when you hate everything about Apple, and have nothing to contribute except abject negativity, derision, and mockery- towards a tech company, no less? The sooner you figure that out, the sooner you can make changes in your life to make you less of a pathetic human being.
Yet you were pathetically compelled to mention Samsung in a thread that had nothing to do with them.
I was excited about this article as I had an issue with Crackle last night on my AppleTV (it needed to authenticate and my iPad was handy, but couldn't access the proper URL because it was locked on the mobile site). Well unfortunately it does not work on Crackle - I just tried and it still defaults to m.crackle.com/# .
One can also change the UA so that it looks like you're browsing on a desktop.
That's the trick I've used to host wi-fi hotspots over T-Mobile. If I connect a PC with Chrome or IE, T-Mobile posts its "if you'd like to upgrade your plan..." page. If I spoof Chrome's UA to Safari, then T-Mobile lets it right through.
Didn't work on my iPhone 5S on Wikipedia, my most-often-used site, for which my bookmark is the full desktop link. The "Desktop" link at the bottom of the Wikipedia home page did take me to Wikipedia's full site, and then after that, my bookmark always takes me to the full site, even though I've visited numerous other sites in between.
From this experience, it appears to me that Safari keeps a by-site preference for you. Flick-terminating Safari kept the full preference at next launch. Don't know whether power-down or reboot will clear it.

Really? Wow, talk about reaching. Well done with your blatant intellectual dishonesty, and false equivalency, desperately trying to make me look like a hypocrite. Every single poster on this board has mentioned samsung at one time or another, even in threads that are not specifically about them.
No, the equivalent would be me visiting visiting a Samsung dedicated website, registering on their forums, and posting regularly soley in order to bash the company and their products. Do you see the slight difference there? Go ahead and pretend that you don't, because the rest of this board can make that obvious distinction. So sad that you had to scour my posts, and that's the best you could find, in order to attempt to discredit me and prop up a drive by troll. How noble of you.
You're feeding the trolls again. On a somewhat related note, does anyone else have issues with the forums on this AI iPhone app? Do most of you use the website on your iPhones? Mobile or desktop?
Issues: links don't work - blank page, pressing back goes back to top of forum page instead of referring post and sometimes I randomly get sent to the top of the page while scrolling down

I didn't say it was equal. It is pathetic that on Apple's day to shine you decided to give Samsung some importance by mentioning them.
I'll agree that those that come on here to strictly bad mouth Apple are pathetic on another level, and it's best not to justify their existence by responding to them. If no one answers them they'll get the message, and simply leave.
Maybe a useless, pathetic, but *accurate* troll. I was a little stunned to see both this and 'Privacy mode' added as features. These really are features that have been around for years and Apple is very slow to the game. I think desktop mode was actually something you in particular liked to make fun of. There is some humor in seeing people who previously raked Android users over the coals for using desktop agents on their phones now suddenly be allowed to step into the light and get pages of 'OMG Apple this is amazing I don't have to use shi**ty mobile sites anymore!!!"
Both systems have their merits, and personally I'm always glad when one ecosystem gets features from the others. A year from now Apple users are going to pick up their 'old' 5s and go 'How the hell did I ever use that tiny thing?'
About time. You could set the default "Browser ID" on blackberrys a long, long time ago. It was better than this option that doesn't work all the time.
Chrome on iOS has also had the "request desktop site" option for as long as I can remember.

Very useful. Skipping Facebook's mobile site allows me to skirt the FB Messaging app, and just respond to messages on the main site.
Yet another vote for a default of this.
To paraphrase Steve, this device was not meant for the 'baby Internet.'
My iPhone 6 Plus wants full websites, most of the time.
Sounds like somebody has a sore butt over another Android feature finally being added to iOS years later.
you are hanging your hat on "view desktop version" eh? Good lord.
welcome to mobile browser 2012 feature list

iOS has had this feature exactly as long as it's had the Chrome browser in the App Store (so, years ago)
Doesn't work at "apple.com", humorously.

So nice idea, but poor execution.

Go figure.

Shut up and go away, you useless, pathetic troll.

Can't we just keep this forum peaceful and invite female squirters to wash away the nastiness?
Wait, what?!?
