      on the adobe website lists many downloads pertaining to flash that has no more support from adobe..what are the risks to downloading it to mobile?

        If you're using Android 4.1+ (aka Jelly Bean) it won't work anyway - no risk, but no use either. On earlier versions you'd be dealing with the fact it has known exploits.

            Strangely enough, Opera Classic supports HTML5 better than the current version ...

                What are you talking about??

                Look how Opera 22 is good against 12 (Classic):
                http://html5test.com/compare/browser/operamobile-12.10/operamobile-22.html

                If you're using Android 4.1+ (aka Jelly Bean) it won't work anyway
                It'll work in browsers that support it. It's Android 4.4 KitKat that removes the possibility of running the official Flash player completely - and I say "official" because there's a hacked package for it (I don't recommend it!).

                      Do you really encounter pages where Flash is needed?

                      In your other topic you mentioned Flash, but I think you're confusing it with HTML5 video and other stuff...

                        i joined some forums on another network where members have gif signatures and avatars..and a host of vevo videos..but alas i cannot enjoy the actual animation. id have to switch browsers. at the moment, i disabled chrome because its unstable.

                          GIFs have nothing to do with Flash, and VEVO videos could be watched normally with a browser that supports HTML5 video.

                          Opera Mini supports none of the two. Opera for Android (outside of Off-road mode ATM) supports both.

                          It's like you're in the wrong sub-forum again.

                              Opera Mini and the newest mobile versions don't support Flash, even if you install it: it won't work.
