Almost everything else about it works decently, except for one important feature that many have griped about: the Amazon Silk browser. Several users have been disappointed by the lag they’ve experienced while using Amazon Silk. When Amazon launched the Kindle Fire months ago, one of its selling points was ultra-smooth and ultra-fast Web browsing. Yet, real-life experience of several Kindle Fire users prove otherwise.

Is there a way to speed up the Kindle Fire’s native web browser? There are three things you can try. Read on to find out.
Basically, what’s wrong with the Kindle Fire’s browser is that, by default, it is set to behave like a desktop browser even though its 7-inch screen is too small to be comfortably used as a desktop browser screen. This results in the Kindle Fire’s not really using its screen space that well.

The Kindle Fire has a 7-inch screen. It’s almost impractical to view full, desktop-size versions of web pages on such a small screen. If you did, you’d be frequently using pinch-to-zoom, and that’s hardly what we’d consider convenience. Thus, by setting the browser to display the mobile versions of web pages, you’ll not only be seeing web pages displayed optimally on a 7-inch screen but also increasing download speed. Mobile versions of web pages are smaller in file size, so they’re also quicker to download.
Amazon Silk Web Browser Not Working
Browser acceleration on the Silk browser is a great idea–if only Amazon implemented it well. However, according to Kindle Fire users, the acceleration technology seems unreliable at this time and would even slow down the browser even on a fast Wi-Fi connection. So, it may be good to turn off this feature.
