Please scrap the 'View Mobile Site/Full Site' option when My Opera is viewed with Opera Mini

Since this option arrived, there are now 4 different views of this site with Opera Mini, and it's ludicrous.

Mini : mobile mode, Opera : Mobile Site
Mini : mobile mode, Opera : Full Site
Mini : desktop mode, Opera : Mobile Site
Mini : desktop mode, Opera : Full Site

If I select desktop mode, I expect to see as close to the desktop version of a site as possible - not to have to then choose an additional toggle to get that experience. You criticise other sites for serving different content to Mini and hiding the full version of sites - why do the same yourselves?
Please scrap the toggle for Mini users. Desktop mode should always show Full Site. Mobile mode should always show a 'resized' version like it used to - whether that's the Mobile Site one or the resized full one (which worked perfectly fine), I don't care.

Make it the full site as default. The mobile view mode mixed with the mobile site is just awful and takes longer to load for some reason.

I agree 100% with this.

I agree. Opera should make the full site as default for Opera Mini Users.
I guess the mobile view option is provided so PC USERS can check how the page will appear on mobiles. I haven't got access to a PC so can someone else confirm this.

Yes it is, Selarus. As such it is probably the least used feature in the Opera Community. That's what Furie says, anyway. :left:

Very wise observation there Dennis. Sounds familiar... p:

So far, no-one has disagreed with the proposition!
