It gets deleted when Chrome checks the first time for updates. The browser is based on the Chromium-source and offers the same features as Chrome - but without the critical points that the privacy concern.Ĭomparison of Iron and Chrome at privacy:Ī copy of Google Chrome includes a generated installation number which will be sent to Google after the installation and the first usage. But it also gets critic from data protection specialists, for reasons such as creating a unique user ID or the submission of entries to Google to generate suggestions. You simply need some Iron in your online diet.SRWare Iron is a Browser, Google's Web browser Chrome thrilled with an extremely fast site rendering, a sleek design, and innovative features. Of course, not everyone looks at Google and sees the Borg, but if Chromium's built-in reporting and Web integration raise issues with you, resistance is not futile. That's not necessarily a bad thing since many users may prefer to delete such data securely. The program installed conventionally and left user data behind in its program folder when we uninstalled it. We saw no functionality issues that seemed to be due to Iron's breaking the umbilical cord to Google HQ, or any functionality issue at all, for that matter. We browsed to some Web sites, which loaded as fast as with other Chromium-based browsers, which is to say about as fast as browsers get nowadays.
We could import or export our bookmarks, create application shortcuts, and manage search engines, to name a few. Of course, we could customize the view, including the Quick Access links, using the usual Chrome-style options. Iron's start page offers quick Web and Image searching and a Quick Access section that let us upload pictures, access Chrome-compatible extensions and themes, rate our home page at a ratings site, view info about our IP address, and even watch funny videos at Epic Fail. What sets it apart is a lack of the Google-centric features that some have criticized for violating users' privacy, such as reporting your browsing habits and suggesting content (and advertising) based on the results. Like Chrome and the others, Iron is super-fast and accepts extensions, themes, and developer tools. It's based on Google's Chromium core, which is the basis of many browsers, including Google's own Chrome.
