Not on stock browser. You can use ICS Browser+.
On CM9 you can change the user agent string on stock browser.

what the hell guys?
you said ics browser i didnt realised this is a seperate browser from the stock i thought it a modification
I use the stock browser when i want a mobile site, but if I want the full version I use dolphin or chrome or opera. This is how i've done to work around
dolphin for pad seems to crash when i download something

It is permanent, but you have to go into settings and change it from there. Simply clicking the "request desktop site" does not save it.
Yahoo refuses to load the desktop page using Opera on my TF by default.
If I do a Google search using Opera & go to a link on the first page. When I try to go back Opera takes me back to main Google search page instead of back to the first page of my original search.
Opera frequently crashes too and I never had any of the issues before ICS.
Best work around I have found for stock browser is to request full site, then bookmark the site and just load from bookmark.

Hi everyone,
I have checked the site http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_desire_x-4951.php and it states 'Browser: HTML5' most of them on GSM Arena do have 'Adobe Flash' there as well, I have checked on other sites and some places do say the HTC Desire X does support Flash, and some say it doesn't.
What will it be? Can anyone that owns this phone or used it before confirm if it supports Adobe Flash?
This is taken from the official HTC website on the Desire X handset.

Please help me clear this up, it's one of the features I want my new phone to have and the other phone I have looked at is the 'Samsung Galaxy S Advance' which states 'Browser: HTML, Adobe Flash', so an advantage for the HTC would be that it is HTML5 what ever this means.
Please help me clear this up, thanks!
The easiest way to get flash is to use a browser that supports it. For example my favorite browser is dolphin browser and it supports flash. So download dolphin browser from the play store and that should work.
Press thanks if I've helped u

Thanks, but in terms of the Browser on the HTC Desire X does anyone know or tested if it supports Flash at all? Would appreciate it, if someone who has used the phone before could give me there input here, cheers.
I don't like wasting peoples time so I have searched and I can't find a answer, basically I am using dolphin browser on my new 5 and the double tap to zoom and the pinch to zoom don't work. I have cleared the cache and reinstalled but is still the same.
Are there any other 5 users having this problem?
Thanks again.

Has Dolphin been updated for 4.4?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2516385
In that thread, a couple of people discuss Dolphin's pinch-to-zoom feature. Have you tried using Jet Pack with Dolphin? That seems to be what those users are doing.

Says pinch-to-zoom doesn't work.

Comments specifically about the pinch-to-zoom feature working smoothly, and notes he has Jet Pack installed.
Thanks for the jetpack recommendation

Yes, the jetpack has been updated and fixes the 4.4 issues. Dolphin has been my goto browser for at least the past year. Every time I have tried something else I always return to Dolphin.
I had the same issue, I installed their Dolphin beta (it shows up as a different app in the Play Store) ..they have it fixed.

Wow this guy knows how to search and make me feel like a right plank!
Thanks very much for time fella, I have now tryed jet pack but still no work is. I guess I will have to try and get used to crome until it gets a update.
Thanks again.
The updated KitKat 4.4 update for Boat Browser and Dolphin Browser are now working on my Nexus 5 running stock rom & kernel. Dolphin with Jetpack runs nice in full screen mode but BB will not run full screen, feedbacks sent to developer via Play Store. Chrome does run full mobile screen.
Just a quick update I uninstalled both jet pack and the normal dolphin browser and then installed jet pack first and was prompted to install the normal browser from the play store and now tap and pinch to zoom work OK!
Problem sorted thanks everyone.

I just happened to be following that thread already, that's how I knew it existed. The search function is often very unhelpful on XDA. I have better luck using Google search and looking at results from XDA pages that way.
Thanks again for the help man!

Every time I want to download a .pptx file through Google Chrome it says file download completed, but when I try to open it through quickoffice, it says file corrupted. If I download the file through dolphin browser it works fine. Anyone else having this problem? Also, on a side note, anyone else finding the new download screen with the loading bar that takes up the whole screen on Chrome unbelievably annoying? Thanks in advance!

Yeah Chrome is exceptionally well at downloading corrupted files and has been for a while. Especially with anything android related. I generally use Opera Classic browser for downloads, Dolphin browser is pretty good too.

And specific fixed that you know of? I'd rather not have to completely switch browsers. In fact, just last month, Chrome was working fine for me. Ever since the update that made the download screen into the loading bar

Unfortunately no I don't know of a fix, next update hopefully. I've had issues using Chrome for downloads only quite a few times. Like any time that I've downloaded any ROM with Chrome it's corrupted. I definitely prefer Chrome as well and still use it daily. I really only use Opera Classic for downloads. If you download a lot you could check out Opera Mini, it's a lite weight version of classic.

What browser is everyone using after the Lollipop upgrade? I was on Dolphin, but it's very laggy and no longer supports flash. Switched to Naked browser which is much smoother, but still no flash. Trying Puffin now, good flash, but a little laggy. Main reason for flash is almost no Facebook video will play without flash. Frustrating to have to turn on my PC to watch video.
Any other browser's any good?

If you get webpages that won't load after using adaway, that you feel shouldn't be blocked, you can add it to your whitelist.

CM Browser. I had some issues with it on KK but it seems they fixed it now. It's fast, has a nice UI, a fullscreen mode, a home button and an exit button. That's pretty much everything I want/need.
I actively use adaway. It seems to block ads in apps and in Firefox and cm browser but not chrome.
Now I use lighting browser but I prefer aosp browser but it doesn't work on lollipop.
Try javelin. It blocks ads natively and has material aspects

There's a "get flash" guide thread in these n5 forums. Forget if its general or q&a.
I'm using Firefox. Is it just me or its actually slow compared to Chrome. It won't open links that readily load on Chrome.
I was a Firefox guy for the longest time, synced between my laptop, tablet and phone. But I've had it, I always put up with the lack of speed but it's just so frustrating. I can't believe reviews of Firefox when they call it fast.
I switched everything over to Chrome. The address bar isn't nearly as good as predicting what website you want compared to Firefox but it's much, much faster and I welcome that.

There's only one flash apk. Flash is unsupported on android. There will never be a new version again. We must always try to modify the ICS version.
Who knows if it will work on lollipop. I dont even think dolphin works on lollipop. Anyway, there is one apk and one guide only. If you know about it already. Then you know as much as everyone else

if you use data compression, adaway will not work. data compression makes chrome go through a different web server, thus, adaway does not block ads. opt out of compression in chrome and ads will be blocked.
