I'm using eww lately for browsing the web looking for documentation and things like that. I dislike this thing, that eww receives the same web page as it were Firefox or Google Chrome, it cannot render web pages as those web browsers do. Then, what I want to achieve is to make eww tell the web sites that it visits that send the mobile friendly version of their web pages, thus, I would have a simpler layout rendered by eww (or at least that's my assumption).

How can I ask for a web server to serve their "mobile friendly" version of their web pages with eww?
