Chrome is addictive
If you have gotten used to the Chrome browser on your desktop and already using Kindle Fire HD, you might have been wishing to also replay your chrome experience on kindle besides using the Silk browser which the e-reader comes packaged with.

Ordinarily, Kindle Fire HD doesn't come with a lot of apps or an alternative browser like Google chrome, being a different Android tablet that doesn't work with Windows but on a customized Android Operating system.

Installing the Google Chrome browser on Kindle fire is possible but not recommended by Kindle manufacturers - Amazon. That's why they probably did not list the app - Chrome for Android at the Amazon store.
