SRWare Iron - Secure web browser focused on privacy, speed, and protection from tracking tools.

SRWare Iron is a fast, free web browser built from the open-source Chromium code. It provides the speed and features of Google Chrome but with one key difference: enhanced privacy and security. Iron removes features that raise privacy concerns — such as URL tracking, installation IDs, and automated data collection — providing a browsing experience that truly belongs to you.

SRWare Iron removes tracking components to help protect your privacy while providing a Chrome-compatible browsing experience.

While Iron does not offer additional privacy compared to Chromium, it disables certain configurable features that may share information with third parties.

Google Chrome is known for its fast website rendering, sleek design, and modern features. However, it also faces criticism from privacy advocates for reasons such as creating a unique user ID and sending data to Google to generate suggestions. SRWare Iron is a viable alternative.

Comparison of SRWare Iron and Google Chrome in terms of privacy:

The installation ID does not exist in Iron

Each copy of Google Chrome contains a unique installation number that is transmitted to Google after installation and initial use. This number is automatically removed during Chrome’s initial update check. If Chrome is part of a promotional campaign, a unique promotion number may be created and sent to Google upon the browser’s initial launch and use.

Suggest – Does not exist in Iron.

Depending on your browser settings, whenever you start typing in the address bar, this information may be sent to Google to provide search suggestions.

Alternate Error Pages – Do not exist in Iron

Depending on the configuration, if you type an incorrect address in the address bar, that information is sent to Google, and you’ll receive an error message from Google’s servers.

Error Reporting – Does not exist in Iron.

Depending on user settings, reports about crashes or failures may be submitted to Google’s servers.

RLZ-Tracking – Does not exist in Iron.

This Chrome function transmits information to Google in an encoded form, such as the time and location of the Chrome download.

Google Updater – Does not exist in Iron.

Chrome installs an updater that runs in the background every time Windows starts.

URL-Tracker – Does not exist in Iron.

Calls relying on the configuration: 5 seconds after launch, the Google homepage opens in the background

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between SRWare Iron and Google Chrome?

Both browsers are based on Chromium and support many of the same web standards and Chrome extensions. SRWare Iron focuses more on privacy by disabling or removing certain Google-related tracking and data-collection features found in Chrome, while Google Chrome provides deeper integration with Google services and built-in account synchronization.

Does SRWare Iron support Chrome extensions?

Yes. Because it is based on Chromium, you can install compatible Chrome extensions, including extensions distributed through the Chrome Web Store. However, individual extensions may not work correctly if they depend on Google-specific browser services or features.

Does SRWare Iron have browser sync?

Yes, synchronization is available, but it does not work in the same way as Google Chrome’s built-in Google Account sync. SRWare provides separate instructions for setting up sync, so users who want to synchronize bookmarks or other browser data should follow the current Iron-specific setup procedure.

Is SRWare Iron available for Windows 11?

Yes. The current Windows release supports Windows 10 and Windows 11, and the browser is available in both 32-bit and 64-bit editions. Portable versions are also provided for Windows users who prefer not to use a traditional installation.
