Chrome for android does not support flash

https://developers.google.com/chrome/mobile/docs/faq

What version of Flash is supported on Chrome for Android?
Chrome for Android will not be supporting Flash. As you may have seen in November, 2011, Adobe announced it has stopped investing in Flash for mobile browsing. Google has long been committed to making the web platform more powerful through open web technologies like HTML5 and is working with Adobe and other partners to further advance the web standard.

I tried downloading Opera and it did not seem to work either.  However on my Xperia Go I have no problem streaming... wiziwig.tv. I stream sport for africa and asia and it does not seem to work on my xperia z.  I understand that flash does not work for chrome but what about Opera or firefox.

I use the default browser and have had no issues viewing anything on the net - flash is almost dead these days - it's more of less no longer required

your question has already been answered

Crome Does Not Support Flash if you want to know why then ask google - your option is to install another browser that supports Flash  -  Are we done here ?
