Silk, Fire and Another Loss For Privacy 15 years ago
I work for a bank. If Silk does indeed terminate SSL, we will block this browser from accessing online banking. We block OperaMini browsers, which also terminate SSL, for exactly the same reason - your sign-on credentials will be IN THE CLEAR on a 3rd party site.
As the bank is the one offering the security guarantee and talking the risk, we cannot afford to have credentials in the clear on some else's site -- ever.
