... to skip the annoying "Do not go on our website, install our app instead" splash screens on mobile devices ?
I do not want to install an app for every website I go on. More, I want to be free to chose whether I want to browse or to app. More, I do not want to be hassled EVERY freaking time I browse by being asked whether I want to install the app.
In my browsing experience, very few applications are better than their website equivalent. Yahoo app is pathetic, l'Equipe app keeps on crashing, eBay app does not want to start on my device anymore, etc...
I do not know much about web development, but there must be something in the browser that can be deactivated to stop it to detect the device on what it runs. Anyone an idea ?

Maybe you have cookies disabled for that site which means it hasn't a clue you have previously said no.

Thanks.
I am using Chrome on a mobile, and cookies are on.

Which website? or is it a pron one and you would rather not say

I didn't know that Gentlemen's Special Interest sites tried to get you to install an app! 
Put it this way: would you install an app from one of those sites? Because I'd rather smash my computer with a lump hammer. It'd probably be cheaper in the long run!

I thought Gentlemen's Special Interest sites tries to install quite a lot of stuff on your computer. Just not apps.

The lump hammer option would be better.

Yahoo, for instance.

I just tried it on my phone, it asked me the first time, I clicked the X in the top right, closed the browser tab, closed the browser, went back in, new tab, back to yahoo.com, didn't ask me again.

If you own an android device then you would want to look into this:
How To – Permanently Have Desktop Mode on Chrome Mobile for Android[^].
I'll have a look at his at home. My main browsers on the Galaxy Tablet Note 10.0 are FireFox and Opera both of which have a nifty option to always use them in "desktop mode". I never found such an option for Chrome and was not using it. Now I may reconsider Chrome as an option.
Keep us posted how it went, ok?
Cheers!

If your browser has an 'always request desktop version of website' feature, try enabling that...I usually just use the stock browser that comes with Android with that enabled and I don't often get bothered with requests to install the site's 'App'.

Maxthon lets you choose which UI to use (menu button.UI), and sends to the site as if it were that kind of device.

So, even after uninstalling RazorEngine, the whole assembly reference thing was hosed. While the website runs on my dev box, there was clearly a magic combination of assemblies, both local and I imagine in the GAC, that were somehow resolving correctly.
Not so on the hosting server, of course.
So, my solution was to remove all the references to ASP.NET assemblies, find them in the ASP.NET MVC 4 folder and another place I didn't write down (sorry), copy those assemblies into a new folder in my project called "assemblies", and re-reference those assemblies.
Now, both the local and host server run.
I imagine the only other option would have been to create an MVC 4 project from scratch and copy over the source code pieces into it, but I'm not sure I trust that process.
So, this little adventure wasted probably six hours, all because I did:
install-package RazorEngine
Andy - next time, I'll know better and use the -safe flag.
[edit]Reading through the docs, -safe only applies to update-package, not install-package[/edit]

I never use NuGet. And also never use GAC except for core .NET assemblies...Only local assemblies, that DO NOT update if I do not want so...

Sometimes these libraries by ASP.NET team are a headache and we really have to go to the intial stage of any project.
But, mostly just deleting the previous assemblies and re-adding new ones solve this issue. Seems like ASP.NET has a never ending caching system in their projects.

When I am tempted to surrender.
A question in QA (No links, and no searching so you can downvote please).
He needs help: he just started with a company and they want him to update an application. No documentation, just "hundreds of classes without any knowledge.btw it is android app which i am going to update".
And he wants us to tell him where to start...I'm sooooo tempted to say "with a recruitment agency"

Seems like a case for Reverse Engineering ?
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

Would be an acceptable developement strategy
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}
