To activate the User Agent Switcher, in Safari, follow these steps: 1 Click on the Gear shift icon, shown in the top right corner of the Safari web browser, to open the General Menu. 2 Choose Preferences. These are also shown in the figure from the last step.

Or you could use one of several third-party browsers that let you set the user agent to desktop Safari, such as iCab Mobile.
One of the issues with all third-party browsers in iOS is that javascript performance is several orders of magnitude slower then it is with Safari, because Apple restricts their 'Nitro' JIT compiler to Safari. For this reason, I stick to Safari on iOS devices.
Apple Safari Update For Mac
There's an easier way to do this, just install Atomic Web Browser and change the user string. You can set it as Mobile Safari (Default), Safari desktop, Firefox, Explorer or Wap Device; you can even select some specific versions. If you need the function spend some money and don't mess with your backup files. As I mention before, you have to get the payed version, but is only 0.99 and have some other handy functions.
I use this when a mobile site is underdeveloped and basically useless. Anyway, sometimes, the websites are so bloated that Atomic Web becomes very slow, I believe that the same thing would happen with Safari.

I have enough apps, I don't need another one clogging my memory just because I want to view the desktop version of a web page. Powerdvd for mac os. This hack is excellent.
This hack involves downloading another app, if you read the blog post.
I use the Atomic Web Browser as well. Clean app for mac. Works great, has a full screen mode, can import Safari's bookmarks and you can use it when set as Desktop Safari to access icloud.com.
I'll also recommend Atomic Web Browser for this. It offers settings to appear as several different browsers. I don't use it a lot, but it's handy just in case.

When life hands you lemons.. ask for tequila and lime!
I am running latest version of macOS Sierra on a late 2012 Mac Mini.
My problem is that I need to run an (interactive) website that only works in Internet Explorer 11 as part of one of my jobs as an examiner.
I looked at remote access options (I have a Windows 10 Home laptop) with various degrees of success but none ideal. I was hoping the simplest way would be to select Internet Explorer 11 from the User Agent list in the Developer menu in Safari.
The website loads and I can sign in and I can go through various menu options. But the main feature of the site is to mark student responses to exam questions.
I believe the functionality for this part of the site requires Java or JavaScript (This is where my knowledge ends and breaks down, are they different?). It possibly requires Active-X (whatever that is/was?). The website prompts me to install Java but takes me to the Windows version which obviously wont install on a Mac! (I have the latest Mac version of Java installed on my Mini.)
Any ideas if there is a way round this?
Or am I being over optimistic in seeking such a simple solution?
User Agent Safari Mac Os
Thanks.
ps. I can just use my Windows laptop but prefer the big monitor I use with my Mac. I can connect my laptop to my monitor (I did this last year!) but for various reasons that boil down to the physically space available to work in I am seeking a more efficient solution.
