Anyone else noticing that across all browsers they download, mobile websites do not load automatically (despite being setup to)?

Specifically, jalopnik and engadget do not and its quite frustrating.
 
I visit a couple websites with the N7 that display a mobile theme automatically. I usually end up changing to the normal theme.

Engadget has its own app in Google Play..

Understood, but I much prefer to pull it up while browsing. It's part of my daily visits and I rather do everything though one screen then have to go to my homescreen and launch it separately.
 
I think that it's up to the website itself to redirect you when it detects a mobile browser. Engadget doesn't seem to redirect but I've been to other sites that do.
 
It seems just on this tablet, I don't know if it's jelly bean related or what as ios and ics tablets seem to load it as a mobile theme.
 
Ok, I just tried to visit Engadget on Opera Mini and it redirected to the mobile site, so you can try using that if you haven't already.
 
Umm...how do I perma disable mobile sites in chrome?

Some websites, mine included are responsive. That means that the style of the website changes depending on the resolution. That could relate to the issue. I personally want desktop sites to load on my Nexus 7 since I'm using WiFi and the screen is big enough for most websites.
