Yeah lol, HideUserAgent is mentioned in the very first post at the bottom. But it's very nice to know for sure that it's confirmed as working around this particular redirect. I was wondering if they were still using useragents or if they were using some other information 'leaks' from the browser, like screen size (if MicroB leaks that somehow, not all browsers do).

Better link (in my opinion, because I think it's best to default to the maemo.org repositories for apps whenever possible) to download from:
http://maemo.org/packages/view/hideuseragent/

Or, actually, you can just install HideUserAgent from the Extras-Testing or Extras-Devel repositories directly in the app manager if you have those enabled. Not sure why it's never been promoted to Extras, probably lack of tester/maintainer motivation...

Also, for the tech-savvy, you can do exactly what HideUserAgent does, by adding a user.js file in /home/user/.mozilla/microb/
with the line:
Which is what I do. In fact, my user agent is that of an old Firefox in general, not of the Maemo 5 MicroB browser specifically, and I still get sent to the mobile version... which is why I was unsure if they were going off of useragent string or something else. Seemed really weird of a decision, to send old Firefoxes to mobile....

Whatever though. At this point I just use DuckDuckGo instead of Google, and have been for months, and they don't do any annoying redirect-to-mobile wankery.
