for some time now the n900 browser redirects me to the mobile web pages of youtube and youporn...thats annoying...i installed hideuseragent....this solved the problem...BUT having the useragent customized stops the browser from playing flashvideos from the above mentioned sites....only fragments of sound and still-images are shown...what do i have to do to solve the situation? the user agent browser is now called " maemo browser "...do i have to rename it???

Thats a big list of user agents!

Ive got mine to

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux armv7l; en-US; rv:1.9.2a1pre) Gecko/20090322 Fennec/1.0b2pre

and youtube and youporn both work. I get it sometimes where the vid stops on youporn, but i just fast forward or rewind it a little - do that a couple of times and the vid comes back.
