    Iridium is a project that takes the Chromium code and removes from it all the bullsh*t that still phones home to Google. The result is a light, open-source, Chrome-compatible browser that doesn't attack your privacy. Nice.

    SRWare Iron is closed source, offers nothing above tweaking Chrome settings and has other question marks hanging over it. If you want a de-Googled Chrome, see Iridium or Brave; they are open source and therefore more trustworthy.
