I've compiled a list of Android browsers that work and don't work for my phone. I'm running Android v.4.2.2 and have flash installed from my favorite source.
Beyond the first two, which are the only acceptable browsers for me, they are in no particular order.
Edit: UC Browser is easily the best browser for the flash page. However it seems to just hang with the HTML5 page though it may still be downloading as I wasn't on WiFi.
There may be additional setting in each browser that would make them more effective for Skritter but for the most part all I've enables was plugins (Flash) and full screen where possible.
I still use the HTML5 version occasionally if I feel like beta testing or if I am off the "grid" but the Flash version is still superior in my opinion so far (better controls).
Here's hoping this doesn't look to bad when I paste it from MSWord.
1) Boat Browser
Pros:
Runs Flash
Has very good full screen mode w/o status bar or menu bars
Cons:
Does not zoom out to fit entire page
Has strange artifacts after each written character
Double taps occasionally
Zoom buttons are over the “save review” button
Determination:
Good for Skrittering, avoid double taps by long pressing on screen
2) UC Browser
Pros:
Runs Flash
Has very good full screen mode w/o status bar or menu bars
Runs Flash faster than other browsers
Cons:
Does not zoom out to fit entire page
There is no “save review” button (I believe it is behind the flash)
Flash is layered on top of everything (fixed by quickly taping on flash before page finished loading)
Determination:
This would be an excellent candidate if the save reviews button was present. Otherwise you will lose the last few minutes of Skrittering.
