SRWare Iron Web Browser 131.0.6650.1

SRWare Iron is a free and open-source web browser based on the Chromium codebase. It provides similar features to Chrome but with a stronger emphasis on privacy.

SRWare Iron is designed to eliminate usage tracking and privacy-compromising features in the Google Chrome web browser.

While Iron does not offer additional privacy compared to Chromium, it disables certain configurable features that may share information with third parties.

Google Chrome is known for its fast website rendering, sleek design, and modern features. However, it also faces criticism from privacy advocates for reasons such as creating a unique user ID and sending data to Google to generate suggestions. SRWare Iron is a viable alternative.
