German security company SRWare likes Chrome but not as much as their tin-foil hats, which is why they have created Iron. Iron is a Chrome derivative that has been developed to protect your intimacy by stopping the control that Google has over your data. I don’t know if it addresses Chrome’s fatal flaw, but if you don’t want to relay any information to the New Galactic Empire, its features list will make you happy: • Doesn’t use a unique user-ID, which theoretically can be used to track and identify you. Iron doesn’t. • No time stamp. • No suggestion engine. • Doesn’t send information to Google when there’s a page that fails to load. • Doesn’t send error reports to Google. • Doesn’t update automatically. • There’s no URL tracker.
