SRWare Iron: The Browser of the future

SRWare Iron: The browser of the future - based on the free Sourcecode "Chromium" - without any problems at privacy and security


Google's Web browser Chrome thrilled with an extremely fast site rendering, a sleek design and innovative features. 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. SRWare Iron is a real alternative. The browser is based on the Chromium-source and offers the same features as Chrome - but without the critical points that the privacy concern.


We could therefore create a browser with which you can now use the innovative features without worrying about your privacy.


We want our users to participate in our work and make the browser free to download under the name "SRWare Iron" into the net.


If you are a google chrome user, you may already know that, google chrome tracks our all activity without knowing us. It’s very irritating side for google chrome lovers. But the good news is that, SRWare made an alternative browser named “Iron Browser” which is a modified version of Google chrome. What actually SRWare did? SRWare took the open source code of chromium project (Chrome is a open source browser of Chromium project) and used that code to make another user friendly version of chrome browser.
The big revolution is that, SRWare has removed the following function from chromium code : Client-ID, Timestamp, Suggest, Alternate Error Pages, Error Reporting, RLZ-Tracking, Google Updater, and URL-Tracker. These functions are used on main chrome to collect data about yourself and send to google. But the new Iron Browser is mad for privacy consciousness. So now you can enjoy all features and goodness of chrome by using iron without loosing privacy.
