Default opera mobile now has flash......BUT...

Just like the title says, but everytime I load a flash site, it crashes and goes right to my home screen. Can someone else try it out to verify its not just me??

Agreed, ics browser does work great, I guess I just got used to opera on cm7 and was looking forward to trying it again. I've noticed on some sites that opera does a better job of formatting the page. Guess I'll have wait til opera comes with another fix......

That's why I have Dolphin, Opera and ics browser + installed. I find that each one does something best.

What version are you on, they just put out an update to version 12 and one of the fixes in the changelog is "Added Flash support on Android 4.0.3", or are you already talking about version 12?

Yes, already talking about V12.
But it seems not to be a Touchpad specific issue. I just tested on my HTC Desire and had the same behavior there. When activating the Flash video, Opera immediately crashes.

DONATE TO ME
Same here.. Back to 11.5.3... Even though flash does not work, it is way faster than 12 (or any other browser I've used).

The new Dolphin HD is a lot faster than the stock browser and closer to Opera Mobile 11.5.3, but Flash won't go full screen for me (it just shows a white screen) but otherwise Flash seems to work.
