  "Like a German Version of Comodo Dragon, But Not As Good"

  October 13, 2011  |   By TonyBeGoode

  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.

  comodo dragon gave me lots of problems, so I had to take it away. It crashed playing videos and crashed my webcam. It does not come with flash player, and I hate that. Chrome and IE9 do. If I download it, it interferes with everything else. I would never use it again, unless this crazy company fixed these issues.
