I'm looking for a Sony or Samsung blu-ray player which support flash-enabled websites. I mean I want to visit flash websites via the browser in these blu-ray players.
In the manual, they often say their browsers are full browsers, but it is not clear if flash-enabled sites are supported.
Do you know if the 2012 players are capable of doing this?
My sincere thanks,

Blu ray players that have web access for streaming from sites like youtube etc (which I imagine is why you're asking this question) have dedicated apps already which allow access to these.0

My Samsung player doesn't have a broswer- just direct links to youtube etc.- never use it though as it is a crap function and very difficult to use.0

Hi callistris, I am aware of those apps for Lovefilm, iPlayer, etc.
However, I really do mean a full browser which can be used for other less known video streaming websites. These less known sites often do not have an app.
Thanks,0 -
Have you considered using a HTPC instead?0

Thanks, Tanglefoot. However, a HTPC is not in my plan.0

Tbh any browser function you have within a blu ray player is going to be pretty poor compared to a pc, laptop etc which is why there are dedicated apps for the popular one's:) The browser is generally there for basic web browsing if it even allows that;)
For example the PS3 has a browser, which is awful to use, so guess what apps appear for streaming sites;)
For decent streaming capabilities you need a pc/laptop Mac or tablet device or even a smart phone.0 -

I imagine a Raspberry Pi would suffice...0
