quick final update, in case anyone else finds this thread
the view in HD in browser trick worked in Edge browser onmy Samsung tab S1[ android 6] also
in both cases, you must select view desktop site in browser preferences, before streaming. And remember to do that every time, as the choice does not stick.
That seems to fool amazon servers into thinking they are streaming to a desktop PC so they allow the HD stream, after a one-off protected content check.
But with the browser in default view mobile site settings, all you get is SD, same as the android app.
