As already mentioned, use Skyfire. It works as I use it for some of the Facebook apps too.
Zynga poker wont work through Skyfire... or should I say it does but its really slow, also tried famrville, and that too grinds to a halt.
Saying that most of the games on FB are slow on my desktop pc, so I dont think the hd2 can run most of them.
Be interesting in anyone else resolves this.. I'd love to be able to play FB poker on my phone.

Your original post asked whether the HD2 can run Facebook flash games.
The answer is yes, but with another browser to those installed.
If you complain that it only works if you install something else, then you remove the entire point of having a Smartphone.
great.
apologise if i sound rude because as far as i know Ie support Flash so i am out of curious why Ie dont work for flash game.
cheers

Unfortunately Flash is one of these systems which has a baseline standard, but different types of coders create slightly different types of apps, some work with IE, some don't.
web browser test on each tablet's native browser. Summary, the browser in Honeycomb is better than previous version. All three tablets are connected to the same wifi. check out the results yourself!

The only wish that I have with Honeycomb web browser is ability to change USER AGENT STRING. That's all I want.
I know, there is that about:debug trick, but it does not stick and we must do it again and again. Even does not work on certain website.
So, Google ... please please please add this!
Don't force me to use Dolphin
Is there anyway to edit the ".apk" and make it permanent change An idea for hacker with root.

My user agent string has never changed back, what are you talking about?
The reason some sites come up mobile is because they match on the word Android instead of mobile. Websites are to blame, not google in this case.
i swear Androidcentral took my blog story!

Create a book mark to about:config on your home screen. All you do is click the shortcut then hit the go button in the URL bar.
I tried with my Nexus S and browse to Facebook.com (full site).
It worked for a while, but then went back to Touch.Facebook.com.
Because of this, I am using Dolphin Mini which has option to browse as desktop browser. Problem solved.

Just as the title says, is there a way to get rid of them? Seems very unnecessary as we have pinch to zoom.
As a side note, the 'similar threads' thing when posting a new topic is ingenious.
Install a different browser.
Dolphin is bang tidy.
I recommend Opera Mini for your 3g connections and Opera Mobile for your wi-fi connections.
Opera Mini is THE fastest browser and has up to 90% less MB usage. Perfect if you are on a data plan. The drawback is that it cant display flash.
Opera Mobile is a decent enough browser, pretty good in fact, but has the added bonus of being able to link with your bookmarks, etc with opera mini.
I find it the perfect solution for the best of all Worlds.
I data usage and 3g speed are no problem you can just use opera mobile for 3g to, it's awesome!
Does Opera mobile support flash?

Yes, thats why i use it for my wi-fi connection, but opera mini for 3g.
Opera Mini is the only browser that sends the data to a seperate server first, which then compresses the information before sending it to your phone.
It compresses up to 90%. As i said, great if you are on a data plan. If you are not on a data plan, it is still the fastest browser by a long way.
Opera Mini doesnt support flash and is unlikely to in the foreseeable future because of the cost of running video through a seperate server before sending it to your phone.
Alright, thanks, I'll give it a go.
I tried Opera mobile and it sucked.
My pages would not load unless I was on 3G. As soon as I disabled wi-fi they loaded. The startup screen was very unresponsive. I had to remove it.
I'll try Dolphin tonight.
Dolphin Browser is the Daddy, and you can download quite a few afd ons & colour themes for it.
I use the blue theme.
I tried Opera and quite frankly... It's ****.
Ill simply disagree with the above two posts.
Opera Mini is infinately quicker than Dolphin and both Opera Mobile and Opera Mini is smoother than Dolphin.
Dolphin scrolling is like Stock Scrolling - Jerky on heavy pages.
Go to the desktop version of IGN.com or the desktop version of mmo-champion and you'll see how much both versions (but especially Opera Mini) of Opera whoops Dolphin for speed and smoothness.
Works perfect.

Everybody on a data plan.
Being able to extend your web surfing by up to 9 times more than normal and keeping within your data plan is one of the most useful browsing features ever implemented.
I have also done site by site comparisons with Opera Mini on ign.com and mmo-champion, two very intensive home pages. They look virtually identical to normal browsers. So alike in fact that a part from the lack of Flash on Opera Mini, you would never be able to tell the difference between it and a normal browser.
I therefore accuse you of never having used it.

If you cant figure out how to use Opera Mobile with Wi-Fi, then all your qualifications have taught you nothing.
Hint - You press the Wi-Fi button, then open your browser.
It works.
If you cant get it to work, you are doing it wrong or your Wi-fi is malfunctioning.
I would like to get this post a little back on track, is there a way to mod the standard browser to remove the zoom buttons displayed onscreen?
Ideally not just removing the visual overlay of the buttons.
We can discuss "best mobile web browser" elsewhere.
From what ive read on this thread so far, no one has mentioned that opera mobile has the aforementioned compression featured in opera mini via the Opera turbo mode. Best of both in one package.
To level the playing field, I use opera for browsing on 3g with Turbo mode on. Im not bothered about Opera logging my searches and stuff, as for once its nice to give my web search details to someone other than Google on an android device. I use Dolphin HD with a few plugins like blue theme and shake tab switch and it can make use of the volume buttons to scroll up and down.
Default browser in my opinion has the best flash support, its only shortfull being the zoom buttons onscreen

Ive learnt something in life, that when someone name calls, they generally can be categorised into that word themselves because that is what is on their mind and that is what they think about
The main app any tablet user uses is the Browser I'd assume and unfortunately its the weak spot on Honeycomb.
Viewing most desktop sites is very unbearable (try facebook, XDA, Google Plus) as the page lags, and text input is very difficult as well (huge lag)
Do any devs have any idea how to improve the speed on this stock browser in custom roms or so, I remember a kernel on the Xoom fixed things
This link has more info:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=17353
If we could get a fix for this I could finally love my tab.
There is a lot less lag on the bonsai rom, but it's not completely gone. Ultimately google will have to be the to fix it.
theyve never mentioned it /acknowledged it
thats the worrying part
Ya know what actually, as,much as i dont like the look of the browser, opera mobile is the best functioning browser ive ever used. There is no browser lag, it render eveything exactly the way my desktop does. Im very suprised that google cannot mirror whatever opera mobile has done.
Ill give you an example of where opera finally got it right...
Try and do a search on xdas site and see what happens. It opens the text box for a second and then it drops the keyboard. Its never works and it is so annoying.
Now try it on opera mobile. Oh my god, it works!
It doesnt work on dolphin, firefox or any other browser ive tried. Opera mobile it works. Can a super sharp coder figure out a way to take whatever opera has in it and put it in the stock HC browser??
it`strange becouse in some forums is all ok, in other the text is very very slow :-(

I tried Opera and everything works great except two things. the first is that often times you will enter text in a text box, and then when you minimize the keyboard to click the submit button, it removes everything you just typed! I had this happen to me about 5 times and then I gave up and uninstalled it. The other issue is mainly a preference, but the tabs suck! Give me real tabs like the stock browser. opera and Firefox have a horrible tab implementation on Android.

Plus I am very tired of getting to the "mobile" version of the websites.
Its a 10 inch Tablet..
Google needs to give this thing a Desktop identity and load the desktop version of the websites. One thing Apple is doing right with the iPad.
Even better get rid of this Chrome Based Android Mobile Browser and put there the real Chrome.

even when I've manually set the useragent to a desktop browser, I still get kicked to the mobile versions of some sites. And sites like...google search, which should know better!
I've tested a bunch of browsers at this point and none of them are perfect. I think dolphin comes closest, but it definitely has little things that are annoying (such as it being way to easy to close the wrong tab)

I am a little confused. I don't have an issue with the browser or the typing...The pages load and scroll perfect and there is little to no lag at all on my typing. There can be a slight lag at times when i use the Keyboard/Dock but that is it.
Does anyone else have no issue?
Im seriously thinking about returning the tablet. I've done alot of the fixes and tweaks other people have posted here to fix the lag. Everytime i try to view fantasy basketball on yahoo, it lags tremendously. The only fix ive found for this is turning off javascript but it's annoying to have to turn it on and off while browsing different websites. I've also used different browsers such as dolphin and chrome and it still lags. I do like the multitasking capabilities of the tablet but the lag while browsing websties is a major deal breaker for me. Are there any other people who play fantasy basketball and have a fix?

Okay, now I at least see the lag. I never saw it but this web page is like browsing with brakes. And I compare it with other devices and it's only on the Note that it has such a lag.
So, I will analyze this web page to see what produce this lag.
PS. There exists also an app, maybe this is an solution?!
PPS. When I switch to the desktop view my lag is gone. I got the lag only in the mobile view (stock browser).
Can u check "Force GPU Rendering" in developer setting and tell me if that makes a difference?

Yahoo's new layout is notoriously awful for mobile devices. It takes almost 45 seconds to fully load a page on my old A500 in both Chrome and the AOSP browser. Yahoo did a terrible job. I would not read much into the device's capabilities based on that site only.

yeah I know it's most likely on yahoos end but it is one of the main reasons why I bought a tablet so that I didn't have to Web browse on a phone. But it's unfortunate bc fantasy basketball is one of my top sites I view daily to check up on my roster, etc.

I don't use the default browser, but I use Opera/ Boat Browser HD and Next Browsers, and for all of them you can trip the User Agent setting to Desktop in their settings. I think Next Browser supports Flash too. Hope this solves your issue.

Okay, i've used MOST of the browsers and it's still not working. I've tried Dolphin, Opera, UC, Mozilla, Chrome, and Next. None of them work, while some have a desktop mode feature, for some reason, it does not load my fantasy basketball roster on the site, it scrolls but it only shows the background wallpaper, no images or text.
Can someone with a rooted device tell me if the fantasy basketball site lags or not for them?

First...being rooted doesn't inherently make anything better. It all depends what you do with your root a access.
I went to the yahoo sports page and here are my results.
Stock browser: mobile was terible. Desktop mode was flawless.
Opera Browser: flawless in both mobile and desktop
Chrome browser: flawless in both mobile and desktop
Dolphin browser: slightly more lag in mobile but perfect in desktop.
When I say mobile and desktop, I mean the user agent of the browser, not to be confused the mobile version of the website.
I'm not sure why you are having problems. I agree, the stock browser in mobile mode sucks on that website. Are we talking about yahoo sports? You know they have a fantasy football app that would be much better than the site.
I don't have anything special done with root, just use it for cheating games

The signup site for yahoo fantasy basketball is fine, it's when I log-in and load my rosters and team match ups that it starts to stutter. Dolphin crashes on me constantly, no idea why AND when it's not busy crashing on me, it doesn't even load my roster, it'll load up the background of the site but that's it. I'm able to scroll but there's nothing on the site except the background picture. Chrome doesn't have the option to stay in desktop mode, every time i load up a new tab, it'll turn off desktop mode. It's annoying to have to turn on desktop mode every time I go onto yahoo. Opera doesn't lag but for some reason the top banner with the menus scrolls down when i scroll down when it's not supposed to, it overlaps the stats of the players, making it difficult to read.
And the app for fantasy anything is crap, it doesn't allow for a lot of things that the website does, such as swapping your players. You can even see the reviews that many people are unhappy with the app and how it's limited to the things u can do.
I wish the note performed better, i was really excited when I used it until I went to yahoo and was really trying hard to see past this but it's soooo annoying!

well clearly this is not a performance issue with the tablet . In not Sure why you keep going Down that Road. For whatever reason the website is having some compatibility issue with the note, you can email yahoo about it, maybe it's a simple fix. If you need to return the tablet because of it, go for it. But it's not an issue with the performance capability of the tablet itself, the tablet is plenty capable of display the simple yahoo site, send an email to yahoo tech support is about the best advice I can give.
