SRWare Iron

Jump to: navigation, search

The SRWare Iron web browser is based on the Chromium browser's Blink engine, but is designed with privacy in mind, unlike Google Chrome. Iron was released on September 18, 2008[1] but although it claimed to be open-source, the source code for it was not originally accessible. However, the code has since been released, so Iron is now open-source

Advantages

Iron Avoids creating a unique ID for its users, does not report activity history to its publisher (or anyone else), includes a built-in ad-blocker, and more. However, the Chromium ("Blink") engine is still sound, so for people who find Chromium or Google Chrome to be right for them, Iron is a good alternative.

Disadvantages

Iron claims to be open source, but source releases have been only sporadically available. Despite being "open source," the software is copyrighted as "all rights reserved."[2]

System Requirements

Operating system must be: Windows XP or later, Mac OS 10.7 or later, Debian, Red Hat Linux, or another Linux system.
