Display Desktop Version Of Websites With Android Stock Browser (ICS or Gingerbread)

All Android browsers display  the mobile version of websites by default. For whatever reason though, one might want to load the desktop version of whatever website and this is achieved by changing the UAString of your stock web browser. It's a simple trick that unhides some hidden settings so you can change the browser's UAString. Here's how:
1. Type "about:debug" in the address bar then go to address or hit Enter. It'll seem as if nothing's happened, something's actually happened. That's how you unhide the hidden settings.
2. Press your device's menu key,go to More, then choose Settings.
3. UAString is located at the bottom so you'll have to scroll down and select it.
4. Change the UAString to Desktop. It's by default set to Android.
5. You're done. Browse as much as you feel like, no limits.
To hide the debug settings,enter "about:debug " in the address bar again and hit Enter. You can later change the UAString  to Android, same procedure!
This trick doesn't work for Chrome, Operamini, Firefox, Dolphin and other browsers.
