Where did you even get flash player? I have searched all the markets I have to no avail.
It's probably posted around and you can get it from Adobe's site.

I went to their site and got 'We're Sorry. This content requires Adobe Flash Player, which is not supported by your device. This content can be viewed on a desktop computer or on mobile devices that support Flash Player.'

since Flashplayer isn't supported, it's going to be hit and miss. Some sites will work, some won't.
I don't use the stock browser. I use Chrome mainly. When I need flash player, I've had decent luck using Boat Browser. Dolphin supports flash player well, but I couldn't get it to work on the GN2. There's some agruments with Dolphin excessively tracking your information or browser habits, but I haven't kept up on it.
Dolphin did look at other unrelated apps info. I emailed them and they wouldn't respond. Anyways it's not the sites it's the browser. Either it works or it doesn't. Enable flash in the settings file of dolphin if that's what you use. I would imagine it's the same for most browsers.
For me, Dolphin crashed every time I tried to open it. I never loaded on the TF700T. It has been a few months since I read about the Dolphin debacle.
Boat has worked for my needs, which is to use Sirius's radio internet radio via web browser since I'm a grandfathered life time member with limited internet radio access; I'm not able to use the Sirius app without loosing my no extra cost internet access.

I pmed intronauta from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197496 to mod it for our Epic Touch. He sent me this file and instructions. This is for deodexed roms only. Can someone try it and see if this works? I have an odexed rom at this time and didn't want to goto deodexed rom yet since mine is running fine. He said he can make an odex version though.
You must rename /system/app/Browser.apk->Browser.apk.bak and Browser.odex->Browser.odex.bak , put the deodexed version in /system/app and reboot. If it fails and there is a FC, delete data app, wipe dalvik-cache, check permissions in the apk (same as others in the path).
If doesn't work, delete deodexed version and revert the original name for Browser.apk-odex.
Edit: He pmed me back and said it should work on odexed roms also. I tried it and it works. I have the option to choose between Android or Desktop in the settings menu and it sticks after closing the browser.
Have you notified any of the dev's?

I use Opera mobile but the stock browser is faster and smoother than any 3rd party browser I've used including Dolphin. Opera is better than Dolphin imo because it doesn't jump back to the top left of the page when hitting the back button.

I use Dolphin, and have been since my OG Epic. Interestingly, and I've seen this reported elsewhere, on some sites even though I have the user agent set to desktop I still get the mobile version. Engadget for one does this. Not sure why.
Thanks nobrakes. I've been waiting for this since I bought my E4GT.
IMO, people should be hitting the thanks button....instead of posting "Stock browser sucks". Lol

I notice this also with sites that have mobile versions. With Opera it goes to the desktop site though if set to desktop.

I tried this. I now have an option under settings for ua android/desktop but sites still load in mobile. I tried going to about:useragent and the setting still won't stick to anything but custom.
This is the original thread of the BrowserMod for International I9100.

In first post is the source code (diff & files). The xml and smalis related are the same in both systems. Just compare files and build yourself.

Yep. Doesn't stick.
I see what you mean by doesn't stick. I tried going on certain sites and it still went to mobile version. I've been using Opera mobile for a while and didn't run into this issue. I just like how smooth and fast the stock browser is.

Can anyone verify this for me? Sounds a bit too good to be true to me and I'm not sure I trust these guys... I was pretty sure you could change the user agent in the browser?

I personally use this
m.tvcatchup.com (works for UK residents only)
and is free over 3G or WIFI and plays all the UK free to view channels
Just tried it and yes it works through dolphin. You can change the user agent in the stock browser but only to desktop mode not to HTML5/iPhone setting. Because the website believes you are on either an android phone or a desktop pc when using the stock browser, it tries to use flash to stream the content. Hope this helps

Didn't realize they'd got the mobile TVCatchup working on android. Woot.
Great quality too.
Honestly, I tried many browsers out there, but I still love chrome, and love the little things it has. Only thing I dont like is how flash is not supported. Is there a way to get flash on Chrome, or is there no ways to get that? I tried searching for similar topics, but I couldnt find any.
If there is no way, can you recommend a browser that is like chrome, but with flash?
Stuff I like about chrome are:
1. I like how I dont lose my tabs even after closing the app (task manager) or even shutting off the phone
2. I like how chrome auto fills the url, such as if I type xd, it autofills all the url l
3. The smoothnews, and the speed.
Thank you!

Nope..there isn't. All mobile browsers do not support flash anymore. U might be able to get it on dolphin or firefox but I found it to be unreliable. It worked with some basic flash i used as a test but not for a local news site when a brush fire was going burn down my home.. Ur supposed to get the app for whatever ur trying to do with flash but obviously u cant find an app for some things like local news... so you just speed home and drive crazy the old way.
The dependency is two fold.. one is android version and the other is browser version. So if you run android 2.0 and ancient browser then you have flawless flash
BTW Opera mobile is faster than chrome and it does all those things u liked (not flash tho). I only use chrome on desktop but I test it on android with every new version. It's still slower on some sites.
Aww thats too bad I guess.
Thanks for the recommendation. Ill trybout opera

When I had ICS on my HTC Vivd, I had a bad experience with Firefox, then I tried Dolphin browser.
Has anyone used either yet ? Hows that working out for you?

I use Firefox specifically for a couple of sites that don't allow me to save usernames and passwords. There is an add-on that you can install that forces it to remember passwords, even if the site is configured not to. My experience has been really good with Firefox, but I only use it for limited reasons. I use Chrome as my daily driver for normal web surfing.
I used to love Dolphin, but constant force-closes made me switch back to Chrome. Good browser, although right now I'm having a strange issue where occasionally Chrome completely locks up when on the XDA website after loading a page-- I have to clear it from memory and reopen it for it to work.
I downloaded Firefox. Refreshed RAM is same as before.
With that the option to Sync all my bookmarks from my Macbook, I removed Chrome and the Stock browser and am using FF with Adblock exclusively.
Not only that it was a ram hog. It makes the device raises temperature than normal. My fave is Boat.

I also have a huge problem with this on new Nexus 7. Dolphin Browser was locking up also until i unchecked flash in settings. I installed firefox just to get around this issue. I am new Android user and cant believe that the Chrome browser, built by Google canyt navigate this site.
I actually went back to my Ipad to see and had no problems navigating XDA. Then again Ipad does not have flash.

I have installed dolphin browser both way Side loaded, and From Google Play but it always crashes. I have uninstalled, install again and no luck. I have tried with flash installed and without flash, but nothing seems to help. Do anybody has an answer?. I'm currently running Cm, but I like dolphin better.
I had the same problem with Dolphin crashing. I switched to Chrome and it's working well.

One of the threads in general, I think the list of apps that can be sideloaded or something, has a link to a dolphin browser with flash that works on my AFTV without crashing.

Firefox?
I was running into the same issue.
What worked for me was disabling Dolphin JetPack.
