"Like a German Version of Comodo Dragon, But Not As Good"
Version: SRWare Iron 14.0.850
Pros
Chromium based browser with enhanced privacy controls - no data is sent back to Google. It's partly configured out of the box, so easy to get up and running, which is good because...
Cons
...very limited extensions and themes available (unlike Dragon, which can use anything in Google Chrome's Galleries, SRWare's is tiny by comparison). The worst thing about it, however, (aside from the occasional glitch in Google's German to English Translator), is that it will spam you quite often, while performing ordinary tasks. Imagine, a browser with a built-in spammer; you'll never again have to check your e-mail to get spammed !
Summary
While it may protect your privacy from Google, Iron can't seriously be considered a security browser until it adds an extension to protect you from itself. The limited number of themes and extensions actually shocked me and the advertisements offended me. Thanks for the test drive, but you can keep it. When I want privacy, I'll stay with the far superior Comodo Dragon.

"Google Chrome Alternative w/o Privacy Concerns (MyFav)"
Version: SRWare Iron 13.0.800
Pros
* Fast & Responsive
* Compatible
* No privacy concerns
* Works when other browsers do not
* Free
* Updated regularly (as new Chromium code is released)
* Handles memory allocation well (runs multi-processes for tabs)
* Malware deterrent*Cons
* Wish favorites were handled differently
* Once in a while will not render a page correctly (and you have to use IE...but this is becoming more and more rare!)Summary
This is by far my favorite browser. As an IT professional, I want something that works and works well. SRWare Iron does just that without having to be concerned about privacy issues. When I worked for a public school system, this browser outperformed IE & Firefox on page loads when working with the Student Information System. Faster page loads means more productivity...and more productivity means more work in less time...something I really needed at that job (there wasn't enough time in a day to get it all done).
* Also, since it does not use ActiveX, it's not as subject to being hacked from malicious websites (much like Google Chrome). However, it still *could* be, but at least they are rather quick with updates. So, while it may not exactly "deter" viruses and malware, it does a rather noble job of warning you and helping (along with adequate anti-virus) prevent you, or maybe even your grandmother who keeps getting infected with IE, from getting infected.
Bottom line, it's an excellent fast browser that will get the job done effectively and efficiently. -

"Nice! Very nice!"
Version: SRWare Iron 13.0.800
Pros
Everything its just like Google Chrome 13 but no one is collecting everything I do! Awesome!
Cons
None very nice browser!
Summary
Well... I use to love Google Chrome but after the news on how people have been able to hack Google I do not feel my private information is on good hands any more. So until either Google stop collecting and snooping into my browsing, email, etc or they get better at protecting that information from hackers I don't think I will ever go back to them. Same goes for IE9 and Firefox junk quick release of half baked browsers with holes to patch. Until them I will stay faithful to Opera and Iron browser. Plus I love Ironman too! lol jk

"Ohhh Yeah.....This is a SWEET one!"
Version: SRWare Iron 13.0.800
Pros
Okay where do I begin....let see as private as Opera, looks clean like Chrome, run faster then Firefox and it safer and more secure than IE9 need I saw more?
Cons
None that I can even imagine!
Summary
Well after learning about Google and Firefox mining my personal information I do not like those two anymore. Use to be a fan of Firefox until they begun releasing junk and begun intruding upon my privacy like Chrome. I loved Chrome until they got hacked and again I learned they were invading my privacy. So now I got this baby and Opera both my favorite. I wish there was a 10 star rating for this chuck of heaven!
