Adobe said no flash for chrome
But the browser itself is beta now so it will be improved

For me, Opera is the best mobile browser.
This is still in beta, so we will see how will they fix the flash problem.

Hmm, I had to stop using opera because the flash on it kept bugging out and pausing videos. Is it fixed? (I loved its speed though)

i cannot watch youtube via web..WTF!?!?!
or even on my facebook app, i cannot watch videos..
however the youtube app works fine...
and the games i have that require flash are fine as well...WTF!!!!!!????????????
What browser are you using? Some browsers like Firefox don't support flash yet. The default Browser, Dolphin HD, and others do support flash.
This might not apply to you, but sometimes when it seems like my flash plug-in isn't started, or maybe it's crashed (ie. a website says "Please install flash"), I run Adobe Showcase which seems to reload it. When I go back into my browser, whatever flash website I was trying to view always seems to work after that.
phaaawk!!! i cant run flash on FF? i LOVE ff!! AAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!! is THT waht my problem has been? i need to use a different browser?

Google has released a Beta version of Chrome for Ice Cream Sandwich which means it will be available on the Note soon. I've been using the Dolphin browser but I'll switch to Chrome when the ICS update is released.

Nice, although I wonder what's changed compared to the internal browser seeing as they're both webkit based.

The one potential deal breaker for some may be the lack of Flash support

What isn't clear is if the lack of Flash is because it's a beta, or because they never intend to implement it.

No its clear, adobe is done with mobile flash. They want you to use AIR and google is going with it on chrome.
Too bad about the Flash support, since a lot of pages still use it.
I tried Chrome on my Note running the CM9 alpha, and while it was beautiful, convenient and promising, I can't use it as my default browser.
The page navigation goes haywire sometimes and the tab management does not work at all; it doesn't show the tabs and the whole application freezes and has to be restarted.
All of this is probably because it's a beta app on an alpha ROM.
Still, I'm thrilled that Chrome is finally available on Android and I'm sure it will be great once it's done!
Without flash it's a nono for me even though i love chrome on my PC.

I understand that! However, that doesn't necessarily preclude getting the existing Flash plug-in working with Chrome, because that's mostly a Google thing rather than Adobe. For example, the later Firefox nightlies for Android have experimental Flash support.
That being said, personally, I doubt they will bother.

I don't see the point of flash on a mobile device anymore. I don't miss it on my iPad at all. With that said, it would be nice to be able to use it on the rare occasion that we need it.
How often do you use flash on your phone seriously. And if you absolutely need to use it (ie restaurant website) then just open it in the stock browser, no problem!
Since flash obviously is supported on ics it just feels like an unnecessary omission that would make it my standard browser.
Sent from my superior GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
Looks like no flash support for chrome, ever.

What question?
I dont know why but what ever browser i use it eventually gets to the point where the browser just hangs not crash, it just wont load links i click on or refresh the page its almost like if the internet connection has gone, it is definatley not a connection issue as my pc, laptop and ps3 have no issues. Its getting really annoying now, i have used various roms from aokp, asus hydro, i am currently using aokp build 40. I have used every browser, stock, chrome maxthon, dolhin hd, xscope, it doesnt seem to do it on firefox beta but its horrible and until the firefox team try and make it even slighty resemble the desktop version im not using it.
Anyone had this issue?

lol, these threads are usually annoying, but I'm desperate!
Tried Ocean browser but it's fugly with that grey color scheme (couldn't find a way to change it). It matters to me since I'll be browsing the net a lot.
Dolphin is the one I'm settled with at the moment and so far it's nice.
Will give Opera Beta a try.
Any others people use?

Definitely the best browser. Its android browser. Yes you need root. Once you do its very simple to install. Its the smoothest and does flash full screen videos without issues.
If you don't want to root, naked browser is also very good.
so far I'm loving firefox, it has adblock and it's smoother in flash videos. =D
+1 for Boat Browser, very fast and stable, supports flash and is very lightweight with about 3mb in size.

Works fast (after the V8 Javascript update), and I haven't had it crash yet that I can recall (I do wonder what people are doing to have it crash "repeatedly" though since I haven't had any issues).
AOSP Browser comes in second for me. Anything else isn't an option for me unless it syncs with Google.

Chrome for almost everything. I use the "other devices" feature several times a day. It's great being able to instantly pull up any tab open on the desktop, laptop, tablet, or other phone.
Firefox Beta or Dolphin Beta for stuff that requires flash. Don't really use AOSP browser anymore.

How do you get Dolphin Beta to actually play Flash? for me whenever I try and enable it, Dolphin tells me it's naughty and refuses to let me force-enable it!
edit: I have installed the Flash APK already, it's just Dolphin Beta fighting against me...

Pretty much anything that's not Chrome. I've always used AOSP on the N10, but I've used Dolphin and One Browser on my Photon. My Photon is also on Gingerbread though, so YMMV.
