Detect FireOS version with javascript

Is there a way to detect what version of FireOS a Kindle accessing your site is using via Javascript?

Solution

  • I believe that for JS apps you should not care about the Fire OS version, but should care about the Silk browser version, which you can get from the navigator.userAgent string, Kindle devices should have the work "Silk/" in it.
