I would pay money for an extension that would prevent websites from redirecting me from the full desktop version of their site to the crippled "mobile-optimized" version. Especially when the full site has to load completely, before a jQuery onready function fires to do the redirect...


This is temporary. Unfortunately, news sites have to get a clue...


You can do this now by tapping the address bar > Request Desktop Site in Safari on iOS 8. Would be nice to have it be automatic though.


In Chrome on android this is an option in the dropdown menu "request desktop site"


get an extension to change your user agent

change it to the desktop version of your browser (eg. chrome desktop instead of chrome mobile).

you may need root/jailbreak to do this
