Browser vent/rant

Is there any ONE browser that works on this tablet, for everything?

I have issues of one kind or another with every browser on this tablet.

Dolphin- great browser, only one that flash works well and seamlessly. But for some reason, posting to facebook, it skips, meses up, does wierd stuff with words

Firefox-nice browser, usually my goto, but has intermittent issues posting pics to fb, to watch a flash based video, I have to do extra taps to engage the plugin. And this browser crashes constantly

Next- is ok, but also has bad issues posting pics on facebook

Stock browser - P.O.S

Chrome- inconsistant with variou things

Most of my issues seem to be facebook related, but I hate the facebook app

So any hope? Or just keep flipping around browser to browser and live with it?

I think Puffin browser might be what you need. I have heard it's pretty good with flash.

I think I've tried that one too and can't remember the issues, but may be worth another look. Thanx

I have better luck with most browsers on most sites if I use the native formats of site and stay away from the abbreviated "smart phone" "tablet" versions for site....

FB works better with native PC format...

Chrome is my goto but it insists on HTML 5 for videos and world seems slow to catch on.... World is still stuck in FLASH mode which should be archaic by now....

Ya I ALWAYS use desktop mode. The mobile modes just don't cut it.

Ok so I'm giving Puffin another chance. But with that, how do I hide the annoying fb chat sidebar? It makes a whole extra column and takes up screen real estate and I have to zoom the page view to see stuff. On the other browsers, that sidebar is minimized by default.

No perfect world huh?
