Bug Description
Rationale:
There's a lot of situation where website detect Ubuntu webbrowser as "android", and want to force us to download the Android app. There's also some situations where we prefer to display desktop version of a website instead of the mobile one.
Both these situations can be fixed on the website side, but we all know that it won't solve the whole problem. Adding specific overrides may also improve the situation, but we won't be able to add overrides for everything, and sometimes it's great to be able to view both mobile and desktop websites, depending on the situation.
Solution:
It would be great to add, as Chrome or Firefox already do on mobile platform, a menu item to switch between mobile and desktop browser-agents, and reload the webpage.
