is there anyway to set your browser so it doesnt "Adapt page for mobile viewing"?

I get so irritated when I google something, and when I click on the link, rather than taking me to the full page, the URL will be something like "www.google.com/topix.forum.dhrurjdndjfj" etc, rather than just loading the regular webpage.

I kinda played around in the settings briefly in IE and didnt find a solution.

Anybody else notice this/have this issue?

Go to IE9 Settings - "Website preference" - Press where it says "Mobile version" and change it to "Desktop version".

And then use Bing instead, I find that when using the Bing search it doesn't do that.

Actually, you should change the preference to mobile version
Then you'll get the mobile site of google which directs you to the normal site of the link (mobile if it exists, otherwise desktop). Weird behaviour of google in my opinion.

Go to Settings, swipe to Applications and tap Internet Explorer, find label "Website Preference", click the dropdown and tap "Desktop Version". You should then be able to access a website's desktop site instead of the mobile-optimized site.
