Interesting - I know nothing about Silk; does it proxy through Amazon servers or similar? If so, yet another reason to never touch this phone. Edit: Even worse

Interesting - I know nothing about Silk; does it proxy through Amazon servers or similar? If so, yet another reason to never touch this phone. Edit: Even worse, it actually outright renders the page on Amazon's servers. All the privacy violation of proxying with bonus MITM on TLS connections.

Yup, you are right: "To minimize latency and page load times, Amazon Silk routes requests through remote proxy servers powered by Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud. These cloud servers provide high-performance connection speeds and computing power not normally available to a mobile form factor." http://docs.aws.amazon.com/silk/latest/developerguide/introduction.html http://docs.aws.amazon.com/silk/latest/developerguide/introd...

At least on the Kindle Fire tablets, it is possible to disable the proxy.
