About this APK
Silk Browser is an app. It includes native code only for ARM 32-bit, so it won't run on 64-bit-only phones such as recent Pixels.
Since version 134.4.19.6998.207.10, the APK grew from 75.3 MB to 124 MB and the minimum Android version rose from 8.0 to 10. It asks for 63 permissions, 4 of them sensitive, including precise location, approximate location and find accounts on the device. Compared with version 138.13.4.0.7204.244.10, it adds 8 new permissions (“Capture keyboard”, “Foreground service camera”, “Foreground service microphone” and 5 more) and drops 8 (“Camera”, “Nfc”, “See all installed apps” and 5 more). The app can read the advertising ID that ad and analytics services use.

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?
