Now all of the tabs you currently have opened will be using Silk’s Dark Theme and when you relaunch the Silk browser in the future, the Dark Theme will be enabled by default unless you switch back to the Light Theme. Select “Use Dark Theme” next to the little crescent moon icon.

If I were given an option to choose a default web browser for my Kindle and had to choose between Silk, another mobile web browser, or one of the other major players such as Internet Explorer, Edge, Mozilla’s FireFox, and Google’s Chrome I would still choose a web browser other than Silk. Silk is the mobile app designed to be the default web browser for the Kindle lineup and a worthy rival to iOS and Google’s Android enabled web browsers. Unlike PC users, Kindle users use “Silk” to browse the web on their Kindle devices. Whether you are simply browsing the web in bed, watching a late night movie on Netflix or Amazon Prime Video, or typing up a blog post on the massive 10.1″ Kindle Fire HD 10 1080p display in a low light environment, having the option to switch between a dark theme and light theme on demand in Silk provides for a much better user experience. Which, well into the 21st century should be the norm across PC’s and mobile devices. Unlike other web browsers, the Kindle’s web browser “Silk” allows the user to switch seamlessly from a lighter themed user interface to a darker themed user interface while browsing the web. So having the ability to adjust my Kindle’s screen settings and the apps that it’s running to suit my surrounding environment enables me to be more productive in varying levels of environmental brightness. I don’t know about you, but I use my Kindle as much as I use my computer and at all times throughout the day including evenings.
