Amazon has quietly released a new browser for Android and Apple devices. The company’s new Android browser is simply called Internet, and it’s targetted towards emerging markets with a large number of cheap Android devices that usually don’t have a ton of storage.
Amazon says Internet comes in at less than 2 megabytes, while Chrome for Android comes in at more than 100 megabytes. Functionality wise, though, Internet is obviously way more limited. It includes a simple homepage with trending news, tab previews, a private browsing mode, and that’s about it. The browser is only available to users in India at the moment, and the app listing is curated for Amazon’s Indian audience with a focus on cricket and entertainment, reports TechCrunch.
