With Iron, there are NO automatic updates which is how it should be. <br><br>I stopped using it because of the horrible sandboxing of each tab which meant that Chrome/Iron was the HEAVIEST browser out there...not to mention that it wrecks havoc on Task Manager as you can't find any process easily if you have a bunch of Iron tabs listed there. Plus, I have over 100 tabs open on Fx at the moment. You can't do that with Chrome/Iron...at least not on an older computer as even 20 tabs open caused Iron to be eating almost all my RAM...far more RAM hungry that Fx which is bad but nothing like Iron. You need the 24GB RAM that I probably will get on my new computer if you want to use Chrome/Iron and actually USE tabbed browsing..not just "dabble" in it with 5-6 tabs open.<br><small>--<br>When governments fear people, there is liberty.

<description><![CDATA[Reimer posted : I call the Iron devs shady because they do things like this. <br><br>This is one of the things they list as something they remove from the Chromium source code for privacy reasons. <br><br>and this is what a Chrome dev says about that.<br><br><blockquote>Furthermore, the "URL tracking" mentioned both on IRC and on the Iron website refers to the GoogleURLTracker class. This unforutnately-named class figures out whether to use google.com or google.es for searches from the URL bar, and does not in any way do any sort of spyware URL monitoring. This is obvious to anyone who can read code, and should be obvious to anyone technical enough to produce a product like Iron. At this point I can't believe they're doing anything other than being intentionally misleading.</blockquote><br><br><blockquote>This serves as a good example of the sort or significant effort we've put in to make Chrome be privacy-conscious and Google-independent. Half of the bullet points on the Iron "feature" page are options that can be turned off in a clearly-marked "Privacy" section of the Chrome options, and the other half are misunderstandings like this one.</blockquote><br><br>&raquo;<A HREF="http://neugierig.org/software/chromium/notes/2009/12/iron.html" >neugierig.org/software/chromium/&middot;&middot;&middot;ron.html</A><br><br>This same page details an IRC chat that shows the Iron devs intention with the project were merely to cash in on ad clicks<br><br>mgreenblatt - Iron.. why not propose a patch based on preprocessor defines that disables the sections you dislike without forking the code?<br>mgreenblatt - (assuming such a thing doesn't already exist)<br>Iron - because a fork will bring a lot of publicity to my person and my homepage<br>Iron - that means: a lot of money too ;)<br><br>jamessan - heh, you're expecting to make lots of money from making a fork of chromium? that's quite amusing<br>Iron - i dont take money for my fork<br>Iron - but i have adsense on my page ;)<br>Iron -  a lot of visitor -> a lot of clicka > a lot of money ;)<br><br>All of which explains all the bookmarks and iron-start.com homepage leading to their ads they stick in Iron<div class="borderless"><TABLE WIDTH=95% align=center border=0 CELLPADDING=4"><TR><TD ALIGN=CENTER VALIGN=CENTER BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF nwrap COLSPAN=3 WIDTH=100%><A HREF="/speak/slideshow/27511966?c=2032537&ret=L2ZvcnVtL3IyNzUwNjE4Mi54bWw%3D"><IMG TITLE="13681 bytes" BORDER=0 WIDTH=527 HEIGHT=58 SRC="/r0/download/2032537~30758fac3c9f266728e61ca8dc24d55d/urltracker.JPG"></A></TD></TABLE></div>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Reimer posted : I don't recommend Iron. The devs are shady and it's obvious the product was released to prey on the Google paranoia. Iron does nothing special. All they do is remove options you can already disable manually in Chrome and at the same time, is much slower to update. So that can't qualify as a safer browser. <br><br>Isn't it also ironic to claim the browser as protecting you from Google when they use Google analytics and Adsense on their homepage? Oh right. It must be okay to use Google products as long as they make money off of it.<br><br>A more reputable Chromium based fork would be Comodo Dragon.<br>&raquo;<A HREF="http://www.comodo.com/home/browsers-toolbars/browser.php" >www.comodo.com/home/browsers-too&middot;&middot;&middot;wser.php</A><br><br>And of course, there's always Chromium itself. <br><br>There is one other thing to take into account. Chrome includes its PPAPI flash plugin which has the strongest sandboxed flash implementation of any browser. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Insight posted : IMO much, perhaps most, (not all), of the criticism directed toward a fully updated and properly configured IE9 are dramatically overstated, exaggerated or sometimes wrong. <br><br>Properly MS updated and configured IE 9 is IMO an excellent browser that will in the long run with newer editions and tweaks get even better. <br><br>On my PC I use it as my default browser. <br><br>For my Mac I use Firefox. ]]></description>

The Sandbox Team is said to have "taken this existing process boundary and made it into a jail";[101] for example, malicious software running in one tab is supposed to be unable to sniff credit card numbers entered in another tab, interact with mouse inputs, or tell Windows to "run an executable on start-up" and it will be terminated when the tab is closed.[11] This enforces a simple computer security model whereby there are two levels of multilevel security (user and sandbox) and the sandbox can only respond to communication requests initiated by the user.[102] On Linux sandboxing uses the seccomp mode.[103][104]</p></div>&raquo;<A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome" >en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome</A><br><br>Then I wonder if you can tell me how SRWare Iron handles Java and Flash.

<description><![CDATA[Mele20 posted : Errr....It's NOT Opera's poll. Opera blog evidently wants Opera readers to vote for Opera (which is understandable) so they mentioned the poll to get Opera users who read the Opera blog to go and vote for Opera. <br><br>The poll belongs to Sophos Antivirus. So, you should post your comment at the Sophos poll page. <br><br>The reason Opera is doing well in the poll is because Opera users are more aware of the poll (because of Opera blog promoting that awareness) than are users of other browsers. Get Microsoft to promote the poll like Opera is promoting it and have Microsoft ask IE users to vote for IE and then you should see more votes for IE. I bet if Microsoft were to do that, and you were to post at the Microsoft blog, and say you voted for Opera, that Microsoft might not approve your post. ;)  <br><br>So, post your comments on Sophos poll page.<br><small>--<br>When governments fear people, there is liberty.

<description><![CDATA[redxii posted : Anything not IE or IE-based is best on Windows.<br><br>The problem with IE is that it is an interface for Microsoft's rendering engine/platform, many programs might depend on its APIs even within the OS itself. ActiveX is used for plug-ins and within the OS itself, there are hundreds of ActiveX controls included in Windows and by 3rd-party developers not meant to be used in IE. If just one of those has a vulnerability, websites can exploit them just by having you visit it in IE. The line is just really blurred between the operating system and IE. Did anyone know "My Computer" is also a zone in Internet Explorer, just hidden from you?<br><br>As for setting it up correctly, you don't have to set up any other browser correctly to have an enjoyable surfing experience without the headache.

Like the AV competitions, browser security is an ephemeral, fleeting thing... the safest browser is only "safe" until the next zero-day browser or extension exploit. Personally, I feel one should really get to know the browser that they like the most and find most convenient, learn how to set it up most safely (then set it that way and keep it that way), keep it patched, and practice safe hex. In the end, if you do that, you really aren't likely to go too far wrong with any of the major flavors...<br> </p></div>Excellent post!  I agree.  My parents use IE9, I use firefox and chrome.  The company I work for primarily uses IE9 but we secure it using WUS and group policy.  No infections under my watch.  Its amazing how incredibly secure any browser can be with the right settings and making sure that the browser is patched.<br><small>--<br><A HREF="http://www.nightfall.net">My domain - Nightfall.net</a></small>]]></description>
