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.
Mac: Mac OS® X 10.11 or later: Min resolution 1024 x 600: Ipad® 2 or later: iOS 13 or later: Products that have more specified requirements for tablets or mobile devices: Skills Modules 3.0 (see below in Additional Notes for details) Products not currently supported on tablets or mobile devices: Proctored Assessments. Silk browser is horrendously slow. I have a fire, and the download speeds are much slower than my iPad. Using Amazon's servers, the max DL speed I ever got was 10 Mbs on my wifi. Turning off some of Silk's functionability and bypassing Amazon's servers pushed it back to my normal wifi speeds greater than 30 Mbs.
