Been using Google Chrome lately? So, if you don’t know let me talk a bit about SRWare Iron, a project also based on Chromium.
Google Chrome is a fork based on Chromium code base. Chrome is made by Google.
Iron is made by SRWare, and removes all this “features” of Chrome:
- A unique ID through which a user can be identified.
- A Timestamp of when the browser was installed.
- Address bar search suggestion.
- Google hosted error pages when a server isn’t found.
- Bug tracking system, sends information about crashes or errors.
- RLZ identifier, an encoded string.
- Google Updater automatic installation.
- DNS Pre-fetching.
As you see, Google fetches all these data from you. I recommend using Iron, and even more, using Iron portable version. If you even need more privacy, use it’s Incognito mode activated by default by making a .bat file that contains the following.
ironportable.exe -incognito
