Amazon is working on bringing their Silk web browser to the Fire TV and Fire TV Stick. If you simply sideload the Silk browser, it’s not useable due to missing components that will likely arrive in a future Fire TV software update. I’ve created a simple Opener app for the Fire TV that takes a URL you enter and opens it in the Silk browser. Amazon Silk Browser. This is the official web browser of Amazon that is specially designed for the FireTV Stick and the Kindle device. It comes with a remote-friendly user-interface so you don’t need any mouse or keyboard with it.
