SAN FRANCISCO, April 19 — Consumer tech website TechCrunch reports that Amazon has discreetly launched a mobile web browser called Internet.

This mobile application, aimed at emerging markets, is currently only available for Android and in India.

Compatible with all versions of Android from 5.0 onwards, Internet is billed as a “lite” application, which is a small download (just under 2MB) and isn’t resource-intensive to run. It is mainly aimed at users in emerging markets.
