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.

There is also portable edition, which you can use with USB or if you don't want to install it. To import Chrome bookmarks, history and other data, just copy /profile dir to ../Iron(Portable)/Profile.

Tip: enter aboutflags in address bar and check extra settings, like GPU acceleration etc.

AdBlock Plus extension, 1-click install:

If you want to get more hardcore, download adblock.ini (Main+Tracking) from http://fanboy.co.nz/iron.html and put it into {Iron install}/Iron/ dir, overwriting original dummy file. It will prevent loading anything from sites included in that file. This can be used with other ad-blocking extensions.

I also recommend this nice extension, AutoHD for YouTube:

I will resize player video and load better quality videos where available. You can set Preferred quality, then Secondary quality and finally Fallback quality. Higher quality also means better sound, which is good for music videos.
