    Default Can you install Chrome browser on the Fire?

    Did a quick search for 'Chrome' but found 0 results (which seemed odd)

    Question, a friend of mine just got a kindle fire and asked me if I can get him the APK for the Chrome browser to side load. Is that possible, and if so, how do I get the APK?
    I have a Nexus, but couldnt find it anywhere in memory (maybe it gets deleted after install?)


    thanx for the help

    Chrome requires ICS files. I would be surprised if you could side load it without rooting.

    Let me know how it works

    Let him know that Opera works rather well. I like the Amazon browser but Opera is easier to customize. Unless I'm missing something the Amazon browser only opens to the last page you browsed where Opera has a custom home page you can set.

    Android Chrome requires ICS whether rooted or not.
