I dont know how to delete cookies for cache or disable hardware accelleration, im used to windows vista + Google chrome . sorry for all the hassle.

If you are used to Windows and Google Chrome, then install Chrome for Linux. It comes with the new PepperFlash that will be the only supported flash build for Linux.

There is a bug that is affecting some systems with old CPU, that prevents Chrome from starting. If you are affected by this, then see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2011882
