Iron: Chrome for privacy fanatics

Posted Sep 24th 2008 1:00PM by Christina Warren

If you want to use Google Chrome but are concerned or have questions about Google's policies for collecting usage data, you might want to give Iron a try.

Iron, developed by German software company SRWare is Chrome stripped of all the user ID information that gave the German government cause for concern.

I don't speak German, but the guys at the Incomplete-News Project have helpfully published an English translation. According to them, Iron is essentially the Chromium source code, with the following modifications:

    * No unique user-ID
    * No user-specific information is sent to Google
    * No alternative error messages
    * Crash information is not sent to Google
    * No Google updater
