You may remember back in November of 2009 on episode 233 when Bart Busschots told us about Fluid, an app that would allow you to create site-specific browser instances. Instagram isn’t the only site doing this. This is an annoying hack and I don’t like that I have to do that just to play with the cool kids.

If you enable the developer mode in Safari (or use the already available developer mode in Firefox), you can change the User Agent Switcher to iPhone, thereby tricking sites like Instagram into thinking you’re on a mobile device.

I know I’m an old lady but I really like to type and interact with the world via a big-girl keyboard on a real computer. One of my pet peeves in app development right now is how many services only work on mobile. The Problem to be Solved Flotato Interface
