Still waiting for my Xperia Z but - FIREFOX should be good !!
A web browser is tricky, each person has there own preference.
Ive used the default browser, opera since java and symbian phones. And dolphin.
Type in 'web browser' in Google play and look at the top 20 its all trial and error.
Edit looks like puffin web browser has flash?
Edit again.
Maybe even top 30 ,quite a few new browsers.
I like floating browsers too so you could try one like floating browser flux or overskreen which wouldn't be bad on the 5 inch screen.

Timescape widget from Arc will not work later because Sony is leaving Timescape and will replace it with Sociallife app seen in it's tablets.
I think it will be nice, that someone to make a software, like the illumination bar from xperia t. But for xperia z, and the illumination bar to be displayed on the screen when it`s in stand by.
I think il will not drain so much battery
I'm wondering if the lock-screen can be turned off in the settings?
If not, can someone test the app No Lock and see if it works?

HTC phones have issues turning off lock screens due to Sense built deep into the system..

There's no need to use Chrome - you could use it for Firefox with Fox2Phone. It uses the official extension, just makes it usable in Firefox.
Out of interest: Why are you recommending Dolphin Mini? The 2x has no problems with handling Dolphin Browser HD which I am currently using - is there a reason to switch?
