This is the definitive guide to downloading both the Google Play Store and Google Chrome on your Fire Tablet. If you’re ready to get Chrome on your Amazon Fire Tablet in order to make your browsing faster and easier, you’ve come to the right place. That means that you aren’t just limited from certain apps and games available only on the Play Store, but you’re also locked out of one of the most important apps available for any device: Google Chrome.

Unfortunately, it also leads to a major problem: the Google Play Store is not offered through the device. For the most part, this provides an excellent way to both use your tablet and to browse the services offered by Amazon. This customized operating system, called Fire OS, allows for a better experience on tablets than Android otherwise allows for, but it’s also designed to push Amazon’s own lineup of products and services as much as possible. The downside of not adding an email address-other than the 2GB bandwidth limit-is you’ll need to remember your login credentials as there will be no hope of account recovery without an email address.The big software difference between what we’ve seen on the Fire tablet, as opposed to any other Android tablet, is the customized software. If you don’t want the extra bandwidth you don’t have to give Windscribe your email address, but you do need to create an account with a username and password. You can delete cookies automatically when a tab closes, there’s a Do Not Disturb feature for blocking site notifications, WebRTC protection, location spoofing, user agent rotation, GDPR-required cookie notice blocking, and more. Free users can also use Windscribe’s ad-blocking features that includes several helpful additions that are all off by default. Windscribe has 14 virtual locations to choose from, but not any of the Netflix-streaming specialty servers.

However, you can get up to 10GB of bandwidth per month by adding an email address to your free account.

It wouldn’t be as good for streaming at 1080p or higher-you’d max out your bandwidth in less than an hour. Usage is limited to 2GB per month at first, which is pretty good for everyday web browsing. Plus, an informal look at Windscribe’s speeds since our last review suggests vast improvements. We really like Windscribe, especially as a free service.
