Iron-Updates via Twitter: Digital Signature ( Stefan Ries ) SRWare Iron. We released the new Iron 92 today, which contains all features and updates known from Chromium 92. 0 Freeware (New) Released: New Iron-Version. So can this developer really be trusted and should we really support SRWare Iron.SRWare Iron. Look, you call Google evil then you are seen supporting Google, what is that telling us? I’ll tell you, one big mixed bag of messages that should make you think real hard. Then what else do they now do, run Google Adsense on their site and support running Google banners on their startpage site also. They’ve developed a so called privacy oriented browser that played on the paranoia of the general public for ad revenue as their prerogative all along.ĭid you know what the developer was quoted as saying? Google is Evil and the German people don’t like Google, well cool I’m not bothered with that, that’s all cool, I don’t personally trust Google either. UPDATE: The Mac version can be downloaded from this forum post on the SRWare site. You can download the browser from the SRWare website. Personally, I am not enormously bothered by the privacy issues and at the moment I’m pretty happy with a Safari/Firefox combination for my browsers of choice, but if you are looking for Google Chrome, without so much Google, this is worth a try. This is a great example of open source code working well - it allows you to enjoy the benefits of the Chrome browser (the speed, interface and unique tab-as-process architectre) while side-stepping things you don’t want. Iron is a browser based on the open source Chromium project which also powers Google Chrome, but with many of the potentially unwanted features that may impact privacy disabled. If you are someone concerned by the implications of this and maybe don’t trust Google very much, you may want to give SRWare Iron a try. The browser creates a unique client ID which is sent to Google when you do things such as type terms into the combined address and search bar, for example, and if the browser crashes, the technical information relating to that crash is sent to Google. From searches you make on the search engine, to the contents of your email if you are a Gmail user - they have the ability to build up quite a detailed picture of what you do online.Īpparently, the Google Chrome browser itself also does various things which may impact privacy. One of the criticisms often aimed at the company is centred around privacy. Google has come a long way since its humble beginnings in 1997 and now offer a huge array of online services. Hopefully it can be kept up-to-date and patched to a schedule close to the normal Chromium releases in the future. UPDATE : At the time of writing, the Mac version of Iron is not up-to-date and is probably insecure.
