Bug Description

Hello,
this is more like a feature request. I've just noticed that on desktop Ubuntu Web Browser is now loading full desktop sites, which is great. I expect it is just a matter of changing useragents (although there may be more to it). On the other hand on my tablet it is still showing mobile sites - which you may want to change from time to time.

I suppose the default behaviour on phones and tablets should be to load mobile sites as it is now but - could you please add a switcher in the menu to demand for full desktop version of websites?

In addition it would be great to include a button in the bowser's settings so that browser would permanently ask for desktop sites if user wants it. On bigger devices that would certainly be relevant.

(and on the other hand you may want to display a mobile version of any website on desktop for testing purposes so a vice versa would be great as well)

What do you think? How do you think it should be implemented?
