Despite how simple they seem, web browsers require a lot of system resources. Web pages today aren’t visually all that different from past years, but the technology behind them has changed significantly. Standards shift, the amount of media items on a page increases due to better bandwidth and higher system specs, and users constantly expect better performance. In today’s age, no one wants a slow browser.
Because Silk is made by Amazon and included with its Android off-shoot, Fire OS, it’s built with Fire TV hardware in mind. That means the hardware that allows them to sell Fire TV Sticks for under $50. Silk is optimized for use on those lower-powered devices as well as more powerful devices. Silk is made for Fire TV by the same company that makes Fire OS, so the two are built to work together.
The other advantage is due to the way Silk handles browsing. Instead of loading everything on your local device, portions of every site you visit are sent to Amazon’s EC2 servers, where the site is pre-rendered and then quickly sent to your device via Amazon’s enormous global network. Because much of the data is rendered by a high-power machine in the cloud, less work is needed from your Fire TV. The two working in concert means better performance and faster browsing, something other browsers on Fire TV can’t replicate.
