Google Chrome is the most used web browser we have around. A lot of people use it on their desktop/Laptop, and even more, people use the mobile version on their smartphones and tablets. If you own a fire tablet, it is only normal to want to use the Chrome browser to surf the web. Unfortunately, Amazon Fire tablets don’t have the ability to run Android apps like Google Chrome – despite the fact that Fire tablets are based on Android. What you get is the default Amazon Silk browser – which is a decent browser itself. But we know Chrome offers more.
In this article, we will be showing you how to download the Chrome browser on your Amazon Fire tablet and make it your default browser on your Fire tablet.
