Thanks for the welcome Richard!

I've added my "vote" to the request you linked to - I'd love to see this
feature added to revBrowser!

Cheers,
Paul

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.
