Amazon Fire Stick has changed the way people watch TV. It comes with several streaming apps such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, Display+, and more, where the users can watch thousands of TV shows and movies.

It comes with a large view which might not be the taste for everyone. So if you are someone who is not happy with the Silk browser, then this article will help you out.
The Google Chrome web browser is used by many smartphone and PC users as their default web browser. If you want to use the Chrome browser over the Silk Browser in your Amazon Fire Stick powered TV, then you can do it. And this is what we will see here in this article. Here, we will provide you step by step guide on what you need to do to install and use Google Chrome on your Fire Stick TV. So without any further ado, let’s get into it.

It makes things easier for the end-user as he/she can pick up their work, right where they left off in their other device. Whatever site you visited on your smartphone will show up in this history section on your TV’s Chrome browser too.
