And I tend to prefer mobile versions of websites, even when on large screens. This may stem from my use of tiled window managers, but they're generally lighter, less cluttered and less likely to force a specific UI down your throat, as on mobiles even designers seem to realize how their predefined layouts can break on unusually sized viewports. Also, Flash is rarely installed on phones (even though Java MDP is widely implemented), so sites make videos more accessible instead of wrapping them in binary downloaders and players for /branding/.

I want to choose layouts and font sizes myself. Fixed-width text boxes and forced sidebars are ridiculous. Opera can be told to ignore CSS position suggestions and keep web pages narrower than the window, but that does little good against table layouts (which can't be disambiguated from tabular data).
