never happened for me. i actually seemed to have less impact on the battery as compared with the default browser

Why? Flash 11 doesn't bring a lot to the table that the N9 can benefit from.
<SNIP>most major thing of note was better 3D rendering over OpenGLES 2...
But I'm fairly confident that developers aren't going to be targeting flash for mobile 3D games any time soon
That's true, given the longer-term outlook for the platform.

I think possibly improved video decoding,
That's mainly what I was hoping for....

The real question you should be asking, is if it was compiled with hardware acceleration
This is significant too, good point....
It'd still be good to get confirmation at some point, as to whether it's completely ruled-out

Just tried the exact same thing with Firefox, and yes, it played the video! OK, so it managed on 360p, and became choppy higher than that, but it is fine with me, as long as I can play flash videos, I'm happy!
Big thanks to jolo for making this happen. It's so good to know Nokia are still working hard to make this phone of theirs even better. I am a happy chap!
You would've been playing HTML5/WEBM, not Flash...
IIRC the reason you had that issue w/the stock browser, is to do w/how YouTube sniffs the UA for the stock browser from an embedded vid.
IIRC if you went directly to YouTube and watch it from there, the stock browser should've handed it pretty well.

I cannot see how people are giving 5-star reviews to the Ovi store version of Fennec (10.0.2).

The browser is choppy, laggy and slow.

But yes, there's much potential in it. I hope future versions will be faster and the UI will feel better.

It's slow, laggy and shitty.
Opera is much better.

Surely, Opera is much snappier at the moment, but flash will draw me to Fennec either way. I hope it will be here on Monday

Finally I WILL BE ABLE TO USE THE INTERNET NOT JUST READ IT!
No more Nokia diaper on their face when it comes to flash.

Now I can use the internet, i.e. watch CNN videos, watch dailyshow, colbert report, hulu, website radio station streams, so so many things or at least have the chance.

Now we need someone to make an app to change the user agent so it reads flash 11 for firefox when websites check because many websites will discriminate against your browser unless it says flash 11 even though flash 10.1 will play the content just fine.

This is too good to be true? It's hard to believe Jolo.
Are you sure Elop is not going to come down and take a crap on your face and stop it to make his loser windows boned 7.5 a success?

Why should Elop be against flash? He's the one who sold it to Adobe in the first place.

I hope they could, though I am not really expecting it. The default browser honestly serves my needs anyway. Either way, of course I'm supportive of this cause.
