Bing on Silk/Kindle Fire HD8

Hello, dano'gorman1

Silk browser uses a split architecture in which some of the processing is done on the Amazon server so as to nurture the web page loading performance.

I'd advise using another browser on the unit: Google, Dolphin, Opera, Firefox or Maxthon.

Hi

Thanks for the response. Yes, changing browser is a solution, but it doesn't resolve the actual problem. I do already have Firefox. I will check the others out, but I had a problem with Dolphin before.

So there's no actual fix? I've had the device for over a year and this has only recently started - Silk worked perfectly up until then.

Cheers

Contact Amazon Support for assistance if still not working properly.

I gave the reply 4 stars because it was a useful suggestion - in that it seemed to solve it but literally within minutes the problem returned, only now carrying out the procedure doesn't work even for those few minutes, maybe seconds.

Thanks all the same.

Ok.

Thanks for your time.

When I get around to it, I'll post an update here to help others with the same issue.

Before I do that though, I'll go through the docs and apps on the device and have a good clean and delete session and try the above suggestion again.

Cheers
