Iron: Google Chrome without privacy worries

said by heise Security :

Iron, a private version of Google Chrome without the privacy issues.

SRWare, a German company, has released Iron, based on Google's Chromium code. The big difference, according to the authors on their German language-only web site, is that the features which have caused people to question the privacy of Google's browser are all disabled.

These features include Chrome's generation of a unique ID for the installation and recording the exact time of installation, Google Suggest functions in the address bar, alternate error pages, bug reporting, updating and tracking, all of which are completely removed from Iron.

Despite the installer only using the German language, that installed browser functioned in English.

SRWare has made a Windows executable and the source code available to download.

Iron's developers statement about security (original in German language, will make later a translation in Cajun too):

The current Beta of Google Chrome use conform Browserstring a dated Version (525.13) of the Rendering-Engine WebKit. Of course Iron use the most recent WebKit-Version (525.19)

I withdraw my offer for translation in Cajun:

keeping in mind that most Cajuns, weather they admit it or not, speak at least some English, there is no need for translation in Cajun.
