I broke down and got a Kindle Fire HD (not an HDX) because cheap. Neat little toy, but it won't run Flash with the Silk browser. So is there a way to install a browser that does other than Chrome? Chrome is not compatible with my work website.

Chrome is awesome.

Switch jobs.

That is all.

Not a tablet nerd, but I've heard Dolphin would run flash. I'm not sure if it's compatible with the Kindle though.

Wise ass. Chrysler is schizophrenic about their website, it has to run i. IE9 and use Flash, but my work tablet is an iPad. Yeah someone thought that one all the way through. Fires are Android based with some other crap loaded. It won't let Dolphin install.

Website developers that write stuff requiring Internet Exploder should all be blacklisted, and the people who order them to do so should be shot. This isn't 1998, fercryinoutloud.

I did install Firefox, maybe that will do it. Off we go...

You know flash is no longer supported on mobile devices, right? :)

It is, but you pay extra for it.

Yep . . . You can side load an older version of Flash and run it via Dolphin browser. The performance hit is pretty substantial. But then again, Dolphin has become a bloated app.

Though oddly Dolphin has refused to run flash on my phone for a few months now. It used to, but after whichever upgrade, it never has again.

It did the same thing on my TF300. Switch it to on-demand. It requires an extra click, but it works.

Well, I got Dophin 8.5.1 loaded, using it now. Flash works with it but Chrysler's web site doesn't like it. Firefox does not seem to play well with a Kindle either, the graphics and resolution intermittently go to crap.

I worked for a company that required IE8

I switched jobs.

All I can say is that the free time app is stellar for limiting kids screen time.

That's one of the first apps I installed. It's not compatible with Dealer Connect.
