Public bug reported:

Many times it is handy for user to request the desktop view of a site.
Sometimes the mobile version of a website is either limited or broken.

Android handle it like this:

We could have a similar checkbox in browser app settings.

The user-agent of browser would then change to one of a desktop browser,
resulting in the sites displaying the desktop version
