The Kindle Fire's Silk browser is now portable to other Android devices, Electronista reports. Thanks to the work of XDA member and developer TyHi, a port of the browser will work on a handful of Android devices besides the Android-based Kindle Fire, though a full list of compatible models has not yet been established.

The Silk browser, which is meant to speed up the browsing experience by predictively loading webpages, was one of the Kindle Fire's big selling points. Because of the size of Amazon's cloud storage resources, the company can cache a large amount of Web content. The user behavior data culled from the browser allows Amazon to figure out which webpages may be needed next, and make them more immediately available to the device. With the browser port, a broader swath of Android users can take advantage of the caching and predictive page loading, however illicitly.

The port requires a rooted Android device, a downloaded package, and some time fiddling around in Root Explorer, as explained here. TyHi notes in the post that he only went so far as to get the port working on CyanogenMod 7 on the Kindle Fire itself, but others in the forum report that the browser works on other devices as well.
