   OK but I think Samsung is in the same game as Google. And whatever   
   browser you use, it's going to call the android networking to get the IP   
   address of the site, and send its own IP address in the header. So all   
   this is a bit over-thinking if you just want to order a meal in   
   Wetherspoons or whatever.
