Portable version of the stripped-down Chromium-based browser.
SRWare Iron Portable is, as the name suggests, the portable version of the popular SRWare Iron Browser which is based on the same base as Google's Chrome browser.
As a portable application, installation of SRWare Iron Portable is not required and it can be run from virtually anywhere, including portable USB drives like thumbdrives and USB sticks.
SRWare Iron Portable includes primary changes to the Google Chrome browser, mainly in terms of privacy and data collection which Google Chrome has become rather notorious for.
The SRWare Iron Portable browser takes extra precautions in order to allow users to navigate the web without big brother stepping in and watching everything you do. That means that you'll be less likely to see personalized search results or advertisements across the web which follow you around, most likely those controlled by Doubleclick or Google's own Adwords program.
Although some people don't mind being tracked across the web, there are others who will certainly enjoy the opportunity of browsing the web privately. In other words, this clone of Google Chrome has the main mission of keeping your browsing habits a little bit more private.
SRWare Iron Portable is completely free and available in different languages. As with Google Chromium and Google Chrome, the layout of this program is extremely clutter-free and allows you to use any addons which are available for Chrome.
In the end, SRWare disables all of the tracking items from Google Chrome and provides a safe web browsing experience.
