Iron

Open Source by SRWare | Link to website

SRWare Iron, or simply Iron, is a fork of the free and open-source web browser Chromium, of which Google Chrome is a fork of. Iron primarily aims to eliminate usage tracking and other privacy violating functionality that Chrome includes. Iron includes other notable unique features. In contrast to Chrome, it implements the latest version of the WebKit rendering engine, and includes a built-in ad BLOCKer. You can also install Chrome extensions and themes on Iron. More info »

Why do people say its a browser for the paranoid? That is just a comment that makes no sense. Just because some people don't want someone tracking their searches does not make them paranoid it is very logical to not want someone tracking your searches, logins, accounts, stuff you purchase. I am sure google may not steal info from you but someone else can if google can. But I guees if someone wants it bad enough they may get it anyway. But the idea of google not knowing is a start. I would much rather have it that way. What is the point of removing spyware from your computer if google is just going to track you? To me thats no different from spyware. So are people that remove spyware from there computer paranoid? No they have a brain.

I just switched to this from Google Chrome, and it is so good so far! This is like the GNU IceCat except with Google Chrome and for Windows. All my Chrome addons have worked with Iron without error.

Be sure to read this article to learn how to REALLY lock it down and protect your privacy: http://rod.gs/rid

No point in Iron since Chromium's out. A bit shady overall (source is STILL hosted on rapidshare)

Also, interesting read on Iron by one of the Chromium devs: http://neugierig.org/software/chromium/notes/2009/12/iron.html

A good browser for the paranoid, I suppose. The way I see it, on the internet, you never really have 'privacy'.
