Any good Flash browsers left?

I use boat browser in desktop mode (one of its settings) and have flash set to always on. It seems more reliable than firefox but does still crash or glitch occasionally.

 

+1 for boat, it's more reliable than Firefox and is a better browser overall IMO.

 

I use photon browser for nhl.com highlights and have had no problems. In the google play store it has mixed reviews but it might be worth at least a try.

 

as long as u don't go full screen, Dolphin 8.5.1 is my choice. be sure not to let it autoupdate or u will lose flash support in dolphin. it must be sideloaded. look for the APK file on line.

 

I've heard that Amazon is making a Instant Video app for the later generation GoogleTV boxes (I'm anxiously waiting for it). I wouldn't read too much into it but maybe it's a sign that they're going to support more Android devices. From what I've read DRM is a sticking point for Amazon.

 

18 months old and he has his own Nexus 7??? WOW!!! My kids didn't get their first "GameBoy" until they were 5 or so (yes, I'm old!). Be sure to keep him off the Internet. The Nexus 7's Chrome browser can easily access any website if it's hooked up to your wi-fi. Who knows what he might accidently see? And the glass screen is breakable so a protector would be good! I know... who asked me?

No Amazon application for streaming video yet probably because of competition with the Kindle. Have you tried Hulu? They have an app in Google Play to allow streaming video. Of course you must have a Hulu account, which I don't have so I've never tried this. And Netflix works GREAT on the N7. I have this and its pretty awesome! Full screen looks hi-def!

 

I totally understand. I just remember reading somewhere that someone knocked a N7 off the couch onto a carpeted floor and cracked the screen! That's only a few feet. I have mine in a case.

 

You didn't read my post correctly. go back and check the VERSION that I told you about!

 

nuny, the reason i mention using the older dolphin (side loaded, which is SIMPLE to do) is that when it plays a Flash video, it is SMOOTH and unpixelated, unlike some of the other browsers. Do not switch it to full screen though. there are other browsers that play Flash pretty well, and I have forgotten which popular one of them does a terrible job of rendering flash content.

 

I've been using Naked Browser (or the CM browser).

The UI for Naked is pretty awful to look at (the developer himself has said this several times, lol) but its pretty light on resources since its pretty minimal and supports Flash.

 

I have been using the Firefox beta and it tends to work better then normal Firefox

 

I got Boat to work with the help of El Presidente. Have a look at my thread on the same subject - post #6

use x-scope pro! Near perfect performance! No lag in loading videos!!

Plus X-Scope automatically detects whether you have flash installed or not and then downloads it from one of two locations selected by you. (XDA or Adobe)

Make Sure You Have Unknown sources checked in security settings in the settings of your Nexus 7

 

Yep for xScope too - great browser that works flawlessly. The only disadvantage against Boat is that it's a paid app. OP, is that an issue?

 

I use the AOSP browser and it is fast and plays flash great. Flash this zip file from XDA. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1780746
Pick the one for your version of Jelly Bean.

 

xScope doesn't seem to work for me. It has the same cubed "?" that every other browser has on a flash video. The only thing that seems to work halfway decently is Firefox, and even that blinks a hell of a lot. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that I updated to 4.1.2.?

 

Puffin works well.

 

You have to click on the cubed arrow to play the video in xscope, and then you will have 0 issues!

 

I realize flash is "on demand" for his browser, but AFTER I click on the arrow to activate the video, it turns into a cube with a question mark on it, implying that there is no flash installed on my device even though it is.
