How do you upgrade the PS3 browser?

[mike_1025]

I tried out this free site, hulu.com, that has TV shows and movies for viewing online for free. It worked great on my MacBook but, when I tried to use the PS3 browser it didn't work and took me to the Flash download site.

Can you add plug-ins to the PS3 browser or is there another browser that works with the PS3, i.e., Firefox, etc.?

Thanks for any info!

boot into linux isn't much longer than a typical windows start up. restart into game os is pretty quick

Well, it's a lot slower than the Game OS boot. I think I should mention that even in linux on the PS3 you still can't use Adobe's Flash plugin.

Adobe only makes the flash plugin for linux that runs on Intel-compatible PCs, every other linux system (including the PS3) has to make do with the open source flash plugins (which aren't much of an improvement over the PS3 browser's plugin). This is also why the flash plugin doesn't work very well in PS3's built-in browser, even Sony can't make Adobe cough up a flash plugin for alternate architectures. So much for cross-platform, huh?
