Chapter 9. Silk

The popularity of smartphones comes down to two things: apps and the ability to surf the web wherever you might find yourself (I have a friend who has dubbed this “having the Internet in your pants”). Your Fire phone has a built-in web browser called Silk, which Amazon designed from the ground up (with a little help from some open source code). You might think that Silk is just like any other browser, but this chapter tells you why that isn’t the case and how to use its features.
