Most web sites switch layouts based on the user-agent, and unfortunately 
it seems this is not currently settable with RevBrowser - Alex Shaw 
posted a request for this to the RQCC:

<http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=5872>

In that report Mark Waddingham notes that the enhancement is being 
considered, but it seems it's not been implemented yet.

Given the diversity of web-enabled devices these days this is so useful 
that I've added my vote there and a note of encouragement that it be 
considered soon.
