![]() ![]() your saying its just a sham? It is Chrome without Google, whats not to like about it, some settings ill never use? The point of Iron Browser is supposed to be NOT to Connect to any Google Servers unless you specifically ask it to. Your saying this info in the screenshot from the SRware Iron website means absolutely nothing? and does Chrome really need all those updates it receives? that Iron or Dragon lacks? did you check this? Non Critical VS Critical Updates? Answers to which I don't know, but perhaps there is someone here who has been following the project(?). Is the same person involved? If so, have they matured and become more professional? Have they done a good job maintaining the product? Is it stable and working well? Have any privacy problems come up? Those sorts of things. In addition to considering that chat from 2008 ( ), perhaps it is also reasonable to consider what has transpired since then? Judging from a very quick glance at the SRWare forum it appears that there have been ongoing releases, responses to questions, etc. Although some developers of privacy enhanced browsers would choose to disable all such features by default and allow users to selectively enable what they want, it is perfectly reasonable to simply remove them entirely in order to reduce the possibility that a bug could cause something undesired to occur and to provide the user with surety. A core objective is to eliminate non-essential to browser operation communications and information passing of any kind. In a privacy build there should be no reporting that an installation occurred, no reporting about how the user acquired the browser, no metrics, no remotely provided auto-complete, no malicious URL lookups, no remotely provided error pages, no update checking, no non-local preset home page content, etc. I haven't studied the features commented on to assess the potential consequences for myself, but reading over the list they all appear to me to be reasonable things to remove from a privacy build.
