Forwarding a request that was sent to Wikimedia Germany via email (translated from German)

I've been looking for a solution to my problem with Amazon, but haven't found help yet. In the German de.Amazonforum.com there are gradually more and more people who have the same problem as me:

With a 5th generation Kindle paperback, (that is, an older model), you can use the control bar to open a (internal?) browser that accesses Wikipedia. This browser and Wikipedia can also be retrieved directly from the book you are currently reading. This worked fine until recently. You could easily access the extensive information from Wikipedia, which could be useful when reading political or historical books.

Now, unfortunately, this no longer works.

• Only rudimentary information is offered, e.g. lists of names.
• Instead of opening Wikipedia, an error message is shown: `Browser Connection Security Issues.

From the text of the error message it can be seen that Wikimedia doesn't allow access to Wikipedia for security reasons.
Apparently, even the rudimentary information will soon no longer be available. It is recommended that you use a new browser or, consult IT managers. Unfortunately, I have not been able to take this advice, nor have others so far.
The Amazon Service advises to reset the Kindle. But this does not solve the problem, because this doesn't install a new browser.

Questions

• Do you know the problem?
• Do you know what could be done?
• Do you know who else should be addressed?

It's unlikely that anyone would want to hack a Kindle. Can't we let the special browser continue to run as before? With all due respect for security and data protection. A great thing is being sacrificed to privacy here.

With kind regards and many thanks for your effort
