later, but this is my take - Amazon discourages you from installing alternative browsers in particular so that you use Silk, the stock browser. Silk supposedly does some rendering in the cloud, which allows Amazon to monitor your browsing, and ultimately market to you based on your browsing habits. At this point, my experience with Silk reminds me of AOL dial-up circa 1996. It's slow as hell. I installed Opera Mini; it's not full-featured, but it's the fastest Android browser I know of. When I need flash or other features, I use the stock browser. I've been using that same setup on my Android phones for the last year and a half: Opera Mini for general surfing and the stock browser for anything else. I've never been all that impressed with the Dolphin browser - used it for awhile and found it not much faster than stock Android. I'm sure it's faster than Silk, but Opera Mini has it beat for speed.
