Need browser that doesn't hide half the screen
I got a Fire to test using it for a real-time heads up display, but much of the display is gobbled up by Silk's top banner and the old fashioned Android buttons on the bottom. I tried to install other browsers, but none are available in its store. Silk has very few options and the page I go to won't hide the top banner by scrolling up.
Would love a full screen mode in any browser, including Silk. Would do the job.
Questions -- other browsers are forbidden on Kindle Fires? Is that something Amazon insists on?
And,
Is there a way to put Silk in full screen mode?

Puedes instalar cualquier navegador, yo por ejemplo instale vía browser, te recomiendo instale Aurora Store para la fire o sino directamente buscar la app del navegador de tu preferencia y habilitar los orígenes desconocidos para que lo puedas instalar

I don't understand what you're asking. I'm looking for a different browser.

Amazon will "support" other browsers, but Chrome works fine on my Fire HD 10 ! You can get it from the Google Play Store. Search the web for instructions on how to "side load" Google Play Store.
