A Kindle is a compact electronic gadget designed by Amazon, an online retailer, for reading books. On it, you can download books through wireless technology rather than downloading music to an iPod or MP3 player.

The Fire, and later the Fire HD, were released in early 2012, featuring greater capability than previous versions and a tablet-like interface based on the Android operating system.

It contains a color screen and basic functions like playing video and audio from streaming services and the ability to function as an e-reader.

While these devices come with many functionalities similar to a regular smart portable device, they do not have your regular Play or App Store, but the Amazon store. This implies it may be a hassle downloading apps, like non-Amazon browsers on these devices.

This article shows you how to download and install Opera One on Fire, Fire HD, and other Kindle devices.

Can I use another browser on Kindle Fire?

The Kindle Fire and other Kindle devices are designed with only Silk as the default browser. There is no other browser available on the Amazon app store.

Fortunately, Kindle Fire can allow apps from other sources aside from the app store. With this, you can download and install your favorite browsers on it.

Opera One is a great option because it’s packed with up-to-date features like social media integration and VPN. It offers users the freedom to create their own, customized workspaces.

How do I remove the Silk browser from my Kindle Fire?

Unfortunately, there is no way to remove the Silk browser from Kindle Fire. This is because it is part of the Fire operating system of the device.

You can only clear the browser data or, in the worst cases, disable it with the Fire Toolbox on Windows PC. But you will need to have a bit of technical knowledge to use the third-party tool.

This process should work for all Kindle devices, you may notice slight variations depending on the device you use. But since these devices are built on the Android OS, they will be able to run Opera One or any other app that is made for Android.

You can use the process to install any other Android app that does not exist on the Amazon store.
