I don't understand why this is being disabled by browsers, chrome won't let you use it, dolphin browser disabled the feature and it also says to refer to iPhone 5 that its no longer supporting it on android devices..
I installed adobe from the website not the store.. works fine on stock browser after enabling always on..
Are they removing flash player all together? What the heck will we use? Pleanty of sites require flash player..

It's more the fact that most browsers never supported flash on android. Chrome didn't. Dolphin used some server side processing to allow support for flash websites but that wasn't true flash.
You've just gotta use the stock browser (or ics browser if not on jb) if you need Flash. It is still also possible to have flash player on jb, despite a lot of people complaining it isn't possible.

Well thinking of current standards, there are different implementations of things, css html asp and the browsers support them all. So in reality the browsers will probably support all different variations (if it does go that way), as long as they at least vaguely follow the original standards.

Flash is being phased out in mobile devices since its memory and cpu intensive and generally has poor performance on mobile compared to a desktop. Apple began the transition with others following. Hopefully the transition will be over by 2014.

You'll probably have to wait for Icecream Sandwich, in the meanwhile, use Opera.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
Maybe the issue will be resolved in a future update 2.3.x, we can hope it.
especially when there are many pictures.
Opera handles much better..
Yep, the stock browser on Nexus S is really laggy. I prefer Opera on it.
But it's interesting that the stock browser in Galaxy Tabs Gingerbread ROM is super smooth. And given the fact that it was really awful in the beginning, its a HUGE improvement. So fingers crosses that Nexus S's stock browser gets a performance upgrade before ice cream sandwitch.
Seems odd to me. I bought a smart phone over a feature phone for better web browsing.
I hate it.. I don't understand the limitations when safari on iPhones has been smooth for years on less powerful hardware.
i installed flash 10.3 and all is good with the stock browser
Heres to hoping ice cream sandwich sorts it...as will as bring proxy!

In case you forgot, you can run Google Chrome on your ICS device now (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.android.chrome&hl=en). There are some goodies there which are not available in stock browser and you might like it better.
Agreed, it is smother than the stock browser, plus, you have all your chrome bookmarks automatically synchronized. Also, you can access the pages you have opened in other computers and devices (which is cool and scary at the same time).

It's by far the greatest advantage of Mobile Chrome... being reading something in my laptop, then leaving and continuing to read the same thing, effortlessly, is pretty cool.
Or if I run into a page some cool Android app while on my computer, instead of e-mailing the link, I just open Chrome Mobile, and there's the page.

Google's new Chrome web browser for Android will never get support for Adobe Flash, Ars Technica reports.
This doesn't come as much of a surprise, since Adobe previously stated that it was finished working on Flash for mobiles.
So effectively, mobile Flash is officially on the way out. Even though Adobe itself has given up on it, that hasn't stopped plenty of manufacturers from continuing to advertise Flash as a selling point for Android.
Ars Technica deftly points out:
When Google eventually moves to replace the default Android browser with Chrome in future versions of the Android platform, devices that run the operating system will likely no longer be able to play Flash content in the browser.

SkyRocket [ICS The Real Thing Rom]
Last I read, Flash was going away. In favor of HTML5? So not everyone will be supporting it in the future.
I'm using Chrome Beta also. It's not 100% ready for prime time, but works pretty well so far. And the fact it syncs bookmarks with my home Chrome browser is HUGE for me.
But I wish it were easier to add mobile-only bookmarks. It's not super friendly in that area yet. I love Dolphin browsers home page where I can add quick bookmarks.
So OK, how is it that I can't find it on Play? Is it because I'm on superlite ICS and if so, is there a way I can trick Play to show me everything?
I tried Chrome and it is ok, but has handy features missing. I'll stick to stock, which has all my Chrome bookmarks synced to it anyway, it is super fast.

dolphin hd for me. but i'm excited to see firefox come into the picture for ICS. hopefully they will get their act together for the mobile market. their original mobile firefox was terrible.
i have used the stock browser, ICS+ Browser, Chrome Beta, Dolphin Pad, Opera Next, Opera Mobile, Firefox beta, and Boat.
so far, the one with the best balance between stabliity and speed is Dolphin. Though the .29 update made chrome more usable.
I have found dolphinhd and opera to be the smoothest I have used.
Opera mobile for me. As much as I want to like the Chrome beta (and it is, really, really good) I feel that Opera is still the best browser for touchscreen devices. It still has some issues with a few sites, but it's been getting steadily better and has received a steady stream of updates.
Opera mini (not mobile) is the fastest smoothest browser. It has page transitions and seems to take a static approach, as though it takes a snapshot of the page before displaying it. The scrolling and animations are always fluid. The graphics do appear compressed. This browser definitely has its place for me.
I also use the stock browser when I need a more full featured browser, which is the best in that category due to the quick controls and bookmarks.
I have tried the chrome browser on differnent tablets and its quite slow, not ready for prime time in my opinion. Its excellent on the galaxy nexus phone, though.
Firefox is no good, dolphin is fine but has no advantage over stock in my opinion.

Chrome for Android has never had flash support:
What version of Flash is supported on Chrome for Android?
Chrome for Android will not be supporting Flash. As you may have seen in November, 2011, Adobe announced it has stopped investing in Flash for mobile browsing. Google has long been committed to making the web platform more powerful through open web technologies like HTML5 and is working with Adobe and other partners to further advance the web standard.
