Amazon Silk Browser: Any Special Considerations for Third Party Developers

Do interface developers need any special considerations for the Amazon Silk browser due to its split architecture and recalibration of images? Or can this be considered just another webkit browser from the developer's point of view?

All in all, I found Silk - especially the newer versions - to behave like a pretty standard WebKit browser. Some of Apple's specific settings do not exist, so testing on Chrome on the desktop was the closest experience (although one of the caveats is that Chrome seems to be taking webkit fixes faster)

I did not see anything that could indicate that fast browsing does something different for content hosted in EC2. Since hosted content often comes from a number of sources, I do not expect them to share traffic on internal or external networks, although it sounds like something worthwhile on forums on forums.developer.amazon.com/forums/category.jspa?categoryID = 3 to get an official answer

In general, you can develop content for Amazon Silk, just like for any other browser. The EC2 database complies with all standard caching semantics , and multimedia processing is as you would expect.

In general, it would be nice to set the height and width attributes explicitly on images and other page elements and design based on the form factor. In other words, standard web development methods are applied.
