A lot of people, on Firefox OS we have a blacklist of sites we have to send Android like user agents to so we are served mobile friendly content: https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/blob/master/build/ua-ove...

Its a sad situation.

YouTube is a particularly bad offender. Linked to their mobile site on a desktop? You get the ultra-basic WAP-like version, instead of the smartphone version or a redirect to the desktop version. Linked to their mobile site in Opera Mini? Yep, WAP-like version, despite the fact that Opera Mini would have no problems with the smartphone version.
