Chrome, the same on PC too, for the shared history.

I use Chrome on my S3, it syncs well with my desktop version and does the job perfectly.

Hmmm. To be honest I stay away from Flash nowadays so it doesn't fuss me. The Nexus 7 doesn't seem to suffer without it at all, and I don't want it on my phone either (Samsung Galaxy S2, ICS 4.04). Don't want it on my desktop either! I'm getting hardline in my old age.

I suppose if you stream a lot of TV beyond TVCatchup then yeah, but for me, time to die, Flash!

Another vote for Dolphin on Android. Also works very well indeed on iPad.

I use Firefox, mainly because I can sync my desktop and android device for bookmarks and passwords etc. Plus it supports flash.

It might not officially support it but I think you will find you can manually install it. Thats what I had to do on my transformer because it came with Jelly Bean on.

Sure it does, just go to the Adobe website and install it, I did this with my N4 & N7.

Chrome doesn't support flash though so you need to use a different browser like Firefox.

yes! please do!

I can't recommend boat highly enough, the gestures thing where you draw a shape on the screen and it does an action/website is brilliant

personally, I don't see the point of using another browser aswell as the stock one for the simple reason that you cannot remove the default one so its adding unneccessary files/browser cache etc to your phones storage along with another program process..

Not that I knock anyone for using a 3rd party browser, just my opinon of course.

It's for tablet use though, not on a phone, so memory use is much less of an issue.

Started off using Chrome but the lack of flash support drove me to Firefox.
