SRWare Iron Icon

SRWare Iron is a free and open-source web browser by SRWare, based on the free source code of “Chromium”. It’s an alternative to the Chrome browser – and offers the same features but without any problems at privacy and security. To eliminate usage tracking and other privacy-compromising functionality, it disables some configurable features of Google Chrome.
