I notice a few things comparing Dolphin and stock Inc browser interfaces:

1. More Flash video sites work

2. A lot of games work, but hardly any work with stock browser (one issue though is games will close out in error sometimes). At least a lot of games open and play. Not so with stock.

3. Dolphin allows launching to full screen, so correct video file resolution is displayed. Stock browser has to be zoomed, which is simply zooming up the lower res video icon.

4. Pages fit to screen better as well

My guess is both browser apps use the same core. Otherwise, Flash would not work, since it is not a separate, "launchable" app.

Added: Though a lot of Flash games "work", a lot of them need arrows and a few other keys to work. Droid will be a MUCH better device in regards to Flash games.
