So, as the title suggests, is there a hack for the browser which allows you to view all pages in desktop mode? I tried the about:debug mode but there was no options for the UAstring as were in 2.2 froyo.
so my question is, is it possible to view pages in desktop mode in default browser which i find the best browser out there.

I am pretty sure stock browser does that. When I double click on a page, it zooms in and wraps the text.

My immortal is quite right, just double tap the screen on the stock browser to resize

And if you find double-tapping too troublesome, you can always try Opera.
Thanks i dont have the stock browser as im not in the stock rom ! :/

Use opera or ff. Not all websites support mobile view.

In the stock browser, I hit menu then more and select text. It lets me select text, then what? How do I copy? I go to the same spot in the menu as "select text" after selecting and there are no new options. Long pressing on selected text also gives me nothing.
sent straight from my brain....
You highlight the text and then hit the highlighted stuff and it gives you option.

once it is selected long press on the highlighted text for the options menu
Or just switch to dolphin browser HD it has better copy/text functions and tabbed browsing.
I couldn't get down with the Dolphin Browser myself. I just use stock. Couldn't really find one I was happy with.
Agreed on the browser... I use stock, but I do have Skyfire installed for sites that the stock browser hoses up.

I don't like skyfire much myself but any browser is better than stock. I love the tabs and gestures in dolphin. It's pretty much Firefox but it actually pwns the android Firefox browser lol.
Android Firefox was absolutely horrible.

Yeah. Pretty much.
I'm working on a ICS stock browser enhancement for ICS phones, but now ICS is also available on the tablet I like to make some adjustments for it too.
The browser can be downloaded here: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.beansoft.browserplus
Features implemented yet that are relevant for the tablet also:
+ setting of the User Agent string is implemented in tablet mode. (When setting the ua string to "desktop" notice that one always can request a mobile version of a page by unchecking the option request desktop site)
+ home button on the action bar
+ gestures: swipe left and right to do certain user definable actions
I will work heavily on the browser in the near future. Any suggestions, requests (concerning the tablet mode) etc are highly appreciated.
Nice app, liking it so far
Requests for the future:
a dedicated home button would be awesome
a speed dial type home page option (like opera)

Like the speed dial home page idea. Btw do you mean a dedicated home button in the quick controls?
I second the home button, I think he meant a button near the back and reload buttons up top
yea i mean by the back controls and stuff at the top

Its already possible at the moment:
"possibility to set the User Agent string . "
Taken from the market text. I use this on my DHD on ICS beta and its pretty handy.
*feature request*
maybe having a dedicated settings page could be handy.
Something like what dolphin does, could be pretty useful.
ok heres another request:
An option to specify what folder downloads go to.

Good one! The home button is implemented in the latest version. I also added gesture support. Very comfortable on a tablet.

how do you pay for the "pro" version?
also, are we still going to get text reflow on zoom, double tap and pinch? because if i have Auto-fit Pages (in advanced options) selected, it is autofit for zoom already even if i haven't zoomed in. it doesn't ever change. if it is not selected, then it is fill for the full screen view but never reflows whether i pinch or double tap. I can't find or change anything in the settings to change this. it either is formated for the zoomed in version, or formated for the zoomed out version, but not depending on zoom.
Thanks you for this app, not having an option to set all webpages to the Desktop version was really irritating. I also like the addition of the home screen button and basic gestures!
Any way to get settings that you change in the debuging menu to stick. When the browser is closed, they rest until you open the debugging menu again. I prefer to disable the "use wide viewing" setting but hate having to continue to enter "about:debug" just to get it to work everytime I open the browser.

Love this browser, i've been using it since the update. One suggestion though.
When you go to menu via quick controls, you get the very low res yellow circle indicator. It kinda bothers me and i hope you can just make the selection highlighted with the ics colors.
