I know that some sites do that - those sites behaved the same way in 8.0 (& 7.8 & 7.5, etc.) that they do now. But OTHER sites that worked fine on 8.0, showing me the desktop site when I had desktop mode set, now shoot me straight to the "mobile" view. I'm guessing that the connection string we're using changed, and (like soooo many other things on a Windows Phone) you can't modify it, even if you know what you're doing.
A minor annoyance, but an annoyance.
