Yes and No, it's an available option but it needs to be turned on. In the address bar of the browser type: "about:debug" without the quotes. You won't notice any changes until you press menu>more>settings, then scroll all the way to the bottom and select UAString. You will then be able to change it from android to desktop.

I have done this in the past and it works great, until you turn the phone off and back on (about once a week) and you have to go in and do this setting again because it does not stay checked. At least from what I have seen.

Does the DX have an option to turn off the mobile view of websites? Thanks for any info!

The Dolphin HD browser has a add on that is a one click toggle so you can go back and forth easily

Edit: Dolphin HD and its add ons are free btw

What's the add-on called? I keep going into the Doplhin settings menu to change the platform from Desktop to Android when I want to. A toggle would be MUCH easier. TIA

EDIT: Found it...Dolphin Desktop Toggles!

Skyfire has a toggle. The old version of xScope has a toggle (new version doesn't yet but it's coming).

Mine stays checked with the stock browser.

Awesome. That worked great.

BTW, How do you get the browser out of debug mode once you make the change?

You don't need to do anything, just leave it and the extra settings will go away. A reboot would do it also.
