SRWare Iron 123.0.6250.0 - Privacy First Browser

SRWare Iron is an alternative browser based on the open Chromium project. It has all the features that Google Chrome offers, except for those that pose a privacy issue. Google Chrome has received a lot of criticism from data protection experts, for reasons such as creating a unique user ID, as well as submitting data to Google to generate tips.

Unlike its prototype, Iron does not identify the user and does not send any information about his activity to Google. The bug reports, and the installation of the Google Updater service, which runs with Windows, have also been removed. A distinctive feature is the built-in ad blocker.
