SRWare Iron 129.0.6550.0
SRWare Iron is a free and open source web browser of the future, based on the free source code "Chromium". This browser offers the same features as Chrome, but without the critical points of privacy.
SRWare Iron is primarily intended to eliminate usage tracking and other privacy-shattering functions that are included in the Google Chrome web browser.
Although Iron does not provide additional privacy compared to Chromium, it does disable some configurable Chromium features that can share information with third parties.
Google Chrome is pleased with a very fast site display, elegant design and innovative features. But it's also under fire from data protection professionals, for reasons such as creating a unique user ID or submitting entries to Google to generate suggestions. SRWare Iron is a real alternative.
