Ok so I got my S5 and I love it. The weird thing and its not a big deal, but is Chrome now the standard default browser? I know that my S4 had the default/ stock internet globe app. But its missing on my S5. Anyone else? I'm on Verizon and using Nova Launcher. I already checked to make sure i didn't hide it. Its not even under the all apps app manager. Thanks
 
There are over a dozen browsers in the Play store. Install a few, decide which one you prefer and uninstall the rest. Then make that one your default. (Application manager, choose Chrome, scroll down a little and Clear Defaults. The next time you need a browser, the phone will ask you which one you want, and if only this time or always. If you choose always, the browser you chose becomes the default.)

I use XScope... Great browser, been using it for about 4 years now. I've tried other browsers but they aren't as good as XScope.

Internet is the name of one browser. Neither Internet nor Chrome does Flash.

I have Dolphin and Next installed, although Dolphin is set as the default currently. Both do Flash. There are over 250 browsers (which is one of the things that makes a web developer's life hell), many of them probably available on Android. The problem isn't too few, it's too many. And they're all different in one way or another, so you have to find one that does things the way you like. (The current problem seems to be that most of them, when set to Desktop mode, identify as an older version of Safari, which some websites reject.)
