The mobile versions of websites, if on the one hand are optimized for small screens and are lighter sites, with fewer figures and without unnecessary elements, on the other hand they can be limited. Navigaweb.net, in a mobile version, offers the reading of the articles and the possibility to comment on them in a very simplified interface.
Other popular sites, strong in their popularity, show a limited mobile version, where you have to pay a subscription to read the news .
Websites of this type are online newspapers such as, for example, Corriere, Gazzetta, Repubblica .
To view the normal and complete version of online newspapers or any other website on your mobile phone that you want to surf without "mobile" limitations, just install the right web browser on iPhone or Android mobile phones and change the user agent .
In the article contrary to this, the one to see sites in a mobile version on a PC (useful to save bandwidth if you use the limited connection or the same mobile phone as a modem), I had explained what the User-agent is .
Basically it is an identification code that the computer or mobile phone sends to the site to tell it, for example "I am a computer and I am opening you with the Internet Explorer browser" or "I am an iPhone cell phone".
The website processes the user agent and returns, if available, the best and optimized version for the device and browser used.
Changing the user agent manually means deceiving websites and telling them false information: whatever the way you surf the internet, from a PC or mobile phone, you can say that you use an iPad, an iPhone, an Android phone, a Firefox browser and so on.
To surf from iPad, iPhone or Android mobile phone and open each site in the normal version, you need to use a browser that simulates browsing the internet on a PC.
1) Both on Android and on iPhone you can install the Firefox browser and then the User Agent Switcher extension which allows you to change the user agent and see each site in a PC version.
The online newspapers will therefore be readable as you would from a computer, without limitations and without paywalls.
2) On Android, browsing the internet from your mobile phone by opening websites in the normal version and not in the mobile version is very simple because almost all the browsers available for free on the market have the option to change user agents.
The ideal therefore is to keep one browser to be used normally and another that simulates browsing from a PC, to be used when needed, to read newspapers online without limitations and without subscriptions.
For example, I can recommend the Dolphin Browser, maybe the mini version that is fast and easy to use: go to the menu, press on Toolbox, change user agent by choosing the navigation simulated by iPhone, iPad, desktop PC or Android.
3) On iPhone you can change user agent from Lunascape, a complete and feature-rich browser, free of charge, which also allows you to change the user agent of the browser and navigate from the iPhone pretending to be on a PC.
From now on, if a site opened via iPhone asks to buy the app or to pay a subscription, you can easily overcome the problem, for free.
For all other cell phone models, I recommend looking for a browser that can change user agents, which the famous Opera Mini does not allow.
