SRWare Iron is a Chromium-based web browser which is developed by the company SRWare.[7] The browser aims to stop tracking and other features that compromise the privacy of users that the Google Chrome browser includes.[8] The browser also includes some Chromium privacy options turned on by default, and some more features that Google Chrome does not have.[1][8]
Criticism
[change | change source]In December 2014, Lifehacker said that Iron offers little that is not possible by simply configuring Google Chrome's privacy settings.[9] However, the_simple_computer wrote that Iron removes the Google Native Client, Google's custom navigation and error pages and other similar features.[10]
