“What is this, Safari?”
No, it’s common sense.

I don’t really mind there is no flash support. Most of the web is going to HTML5, so if there is support for that, I am okay with it. And even then: I mostly have a PC with me close by hand (or smartphone) so I don’t really mind haha.

In what way is the lack of flash support common sense in regards to a handheld browser?
Especially in the case of the 3DS where there isn’t any HTML5 support either so 3DS owners are almost completely shafted in this regard.
