How do I get safari to open the site I type in and STOP redirecting me to the WORTHLESS mobile sites

Most websites that provide a full and mobile version include a setting on the website to provide the full version. After selected, this should be saved as a cookie so when returning to the website the full version is provided.

Safari on the iPhone is the mobile version and is detected as such with visiting a website that provides a full and mobile version. The website provider is doing this.

Look if this site have link to "desktop version".

This question gets asked frequently. The most thorough discussion is in the link below. Unfortunately, Apple's Safari Team has not chosen to include an option in mobile Safari that "fools" websites into thinking it is a computer. Ergo, we often end up in mobile sites that offer limited info & services, and do not offer a full site link or override.

Here is the link to a fuller discussion of this problem. I accidentally left it out above.

You could try an alternate browser. Atomic Web allows you to set which browser is being reported. I set mine to Internet explorer and never see mobile sites that way.

Thanks. It appears mobile Chrome also includes a feature for "Request Desktop Site".
