Flash Player performance issues

[Burbot]

Hello fellow Gnex owners, sorry if this has already been addressed but i couldn't find much via search..

Anyway let's get to it; my browser crashes when i try to play a flash video on a site when i have requested the desktop version. It's the same with both stock and Dolphin browsers, and of this content, i've previously had success with streaming with my OG Incredible. Is there any tweaks that can be done to increase flash performance or overall success of streaming flash content? Perhaps a different browser? Or will we have to wait until Adobe can release an update to fix these issues? Thanks!

Oh, and has anyone else had these issues with flash video or other problems?

Javascript is a problem on the nexus.
I don't believe adobe is doing anymore updates for mobile flash.

Bump with additional info: it's certainly not the case everytime that i try to stream flash but more often than not. I find that it helps if i enable the flash plugin then wait, and if its successful then full screen it; although the full screen often crashes the browser. Additionally, after the stock browser crashes, it won't want to load any websites whatsoever even after i kill it and try again, seems it wants to take a moment until it calms down after being so mad that I dared to try what I did haha..

Edit with question:

If Javascript is the problem with Flash Player stability/integration, will we see a remedy for this in the near future?

I certainly hope so. I reported it to google alone with many others. You can't even view gmail.com in desktop mode correctly . You also can't correctly view your google homepage if you have a background image, nor can you set a background image on your google homepage from the nexus.

Give a few hours till I can get access to WiFi to locate one. Either I made a mistake with loading Axi0m 2.1 earlier today or Tampa FL is affected by the LTE/3G outage. I'm seriously hoping the latter, I spent tons of time before heading to work loading all my apps and restoring settings over my WiFi before realizing my little buddy was without internet connectivity. :'(

My understanding is that the version of Flash we have now is sort of rough with a more compatable update coming at some point. Not necessarily a version bump because they stopped development, but something a little smoother at least. It hiccups for me here and there, but works well enough, which is all flash needs to do. Heck, has flash ever performed flawlessly on any platform?

I uninstalled it and the entire phone performs better.
