    Hi all,

    I was put off using Chrome because I read it didn't support flash and given so many sites use flash I thought it would be a bad user experience with lot's of video/image content excluded but I am able to play embedded video's and Gifs etc so what exactly am I missing out on by not having the ability to play flash?? :confused:

    Some sites still use Flash for videos. Others have switched to HTML5 embedded video.

    i have been using Chrome since it came out and have only had the problem with Flash twice. Both time it was links forwarded to me that i couldn't view. In each case i just opened the regular browser and viewed the video. No big deal.

    I like Chrome though, nice browser with some nice features. For me it works great, I'm other people prefer others but that's the thing about opinions, they are all different.

    Flashify lets you use Chrome and have flash if you need it. Nice app.

    I find it the best browser. Very quick and responsive. And as previous poster said flashify helps alot.

    nice, i will try flashify.

    One think that has been happening to me a couple of times, when i got a page in Chrome i get the pop up asking which application i want to open it with. In the list of options are the other browsers I have installed. I click back, reclick the link that caused the issue and 9 times out of 10 it opens OK in Chrome.

    A minor gripe but for some reason it happened about 20 times yesterday

    Guy's

    Is there a way to edit the sites which appear on the "most visited" list? I've got stuff on there which I've only visited once yet there are sites I visit every day which are not :confused:

    Also, there are sites I simply don't use on my laptop/pc and only use on my phone. Is there a way to save these as bookmarks which only appear on the mobile version of Chrome?

    I'm not finding Chrome on ICS to be very intuitive!

    I've recently started using it as my daily browser having played with it intermittently for a while now. It's a really nice browser, very smooth and slick on my SGS2 and I love being able to access my many desktop bookmarks.
