Why not for the stock browser, at a slight loss as to why they did this but I guess I can live with it. Just curious tbh.
Stock browser, based on Old Webkit2 branch which has not very good plugins support (does not have)
Also it very far from certification quality with that branch... but I guess it would not be hard to add that support by hacking:

Firefox/Fennec has pretty much stable plugins-backend support, also it multi-process out of the box, which helps to not kill Browser when flash crashes
