    Question Need browser to access espn3.com desktop site!

    So my friend/neighbor lets me use his wifi. Yes it's legit, legal, contractual, etc. etc. etc. so all the armchair lawyers can relax. However, he won't give me his Cox username and password and frankly I have no interest in knowing them.

    I can access the espn3.com web site from my desktop no problem. However, when I try to access it via my phone's browser, it shunts me to a page telling me to download the "Watch ESPN" app. This app wants me to log in with my friend's username and password to access content, which I cannot do. The desktop site does not ask me to do this.

    I need a browser that uses Flash and can prevent the site from knowing that it's a phone.

    I tried Firefox with the user-agent switcher "Phoney" set to "Desktop Firefox," "Desktop IE," and others, but for some reason espn3.com can detect the Android device and punts me to the app-download screen.

    Are there any browsers that have Flash and completely hide the fact that they're a phone?

    Thanks for all the help, guys. I solved it myself ... the best browser to use if you don't want web sites to know that you're on a phone and if you want Flash.. is Puffin web browser
