This is a huge issue for me that I recently faced when I bought a google nexus. Flash cannot be found in the jellybean market, and the only way to get flash working is to install it through apk and use a developemental firefox build. Even at that, the quality is blurry.

I know flash is dying but unfortunately a number of sites (mostly video sites) which I frequent regularly have not made a full (if any) conversion meaning there is a whole sector of the internet that is not accessible from my tablet.

As I bought it as a media consuming device, I expected less of a harsh cut from Adobe and Google.



Try Dolphin Browser !


Unless I'm missing something, that won't achieve anything as it's using the built-in WebKit which probably had Flash support removed (otherwise he could just have used the built-in browser).

I suppose that's why he's using development builds of Firefox - they have their own engine. Opera would work as well.


Dolphin Browser was working for a long time, but I believe they updated the browser since disabling flash support.


Firefox Beta + Flash 11 is working very well on my Nexus 7. Streaming video is excellent and the user interfaces are quite responsive.

It's not as stable as the desktop version, but I don't see any problems with the quality of video.
