As a fan of Kindle Fire, I do love Kindle Fire very much, but there is one thing that Kindle Fire frustrates me. It is the Kindle Fire browser--Silk browser which is designed and developed by Amazon's team. The Kindle Fire browser is supposed to be awesome and fast, but the fact goes far from its original intention of design. It is slow, unresponsive a lot and even crashes some time. Another drawback of Kindle Fire Silk browser is the wasting of space on the screen. The top and bottom space of the browser are all wasted. What's more, the Amazon doesn't offer any alternative in Amazon App Store to get as many people as possible to use the Silk browser. This action is really disappointed me. However, we always can find other ways to install the alternatives for Kindle Fire Browser. Here are 5 best browser for Kindle Fire for your choice.

Amazon Silk is a web browser developed by Amazon. It was launched in November 2011 for Kindle Fire and Fire Phone,[1] and a Fire TV version was launched in November 2017.[2] The addition of Silk to the Echo Show was announced at an Amazon event in September 2018.[3]
The browser uses a split architecture where some of the processing is performed on Amazon's servers to improve webpage loading performance. It is based on the open sourceChromium project that uses the Blink engine.
Architecture[edit]
For each webpage, Silk decides which browser subsystems (networking, HTML or page rendering) to run locally on the device and which to run remotely on its own Amazon EC2 servers.

Silk uses Google's SPDY protocol to speed up loading of web pages.[4] Silk gives SPDY performance improvements for non-SPDY optimized websites if the pages are sent through Amazon's servers.[citation needed] Some early reviewers found that cloud-based acceleration did not necessarily improve page loading speed, most notably on faster connections or for simpler web pages.[5][6]
Some privacy organizations raised concerns with how Amazon passes Silk traffic via its servers, effectively operating as an Internet service provider for those using the browser. The Silk browser includes the option to turn off Amazon server-side processing.[7][8][9] On July 26, 2016 it was reported that Silk prevents access to Google over HTTPS, but that bug has since been fixed.[10]

Name[edit]
Amazon says 'a thread of silk is an invisible yet incredibly strong connection between two different things', and thus calls the browser Amazon Silk as it is the connection between Kindle Fire and Amazon's EC2 servers.[11]
