So Im pretty sick of being FORCED to go to dumbed-down mobile versions of a website. He'll, sometimes when I find the link on the mobile site to view the actual version it just redirects me right back to the mobile one, which pisses me off. Anyway, I read about this plug-in and just DLed/installed it. I rebooted after and everything, and I made sure it's set to "on", yet I'm still being sent to ESPN's mobile site? Same goes for Walmart and Amazon too (those are the only other two I can think of off the top of my head that force mobile version on you lol). Any ideas why? Can't think of what else I'd have to do, it's already installed, running (it says it's on when I check the menu by swiping the status bar. I've even tried cycling it off then on), and I did the reboot after installing it, but I'm still defaulting to mobile.

Did you install the SBSettings toggle? Is it enabled? Have you tried restarting your phone? It works for me.

Yeah the SBSettings toggle is installed. Well, it SHOULD be, I installed "Insomnia" earlier and then the toggle for that and it said SBSettings Toggle would be downloaded and installed with it. Any way to check and make sure? I'm almost positive it is though, I can turn Insomnia on/off with a toggle, and I can turn this on and off, it just doesn't seem to work when it's on lol. I've restarted a bunch. A couple sites go to desktop now, but most still don't, like ESPN for example.
 
when you swipe you should see the toggle, it needs to be green, if you don't see the toggle then swipe, then select 'more' then 'set toggles' and make sure it is on.

Yeah I just checked again. For some reason when I went into the "list" view of the SBSettings I could see that it was on, but when I swiped to bring up all the icons (like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3G etc) it was off. I turned it on and everything goes to the desktop version now, EXCEPT ESPN lol. Oh well, only having ONE website default to mobile is WAY better than having a bunch do it.

Now if we could just get flash on our phone and be able to view/download .mpg videos on websites the Internet on the phone would be perfect.
 
LOL, not what I was thinking, but yeah, now that you mention it that would be cool haha.

I was thinking flash for games, like AddictingGames.com, and .mpg viewability (is that a word?) for sites like Surfline.com, or humor sites like Break.com etc.
