Google Chrome with an adblocker...?

Post by phantasmagoria »

SRware Iron.

Seems pretty snazzy so far, all the simplicity of chrome with the added bonus of privacy, security and an adblocker.

Anyone had any problems/know of any flaws with it?

im happy with Chrome as it is. If this app was good enough, its privacy and security benefits would be acquired by Google and implemented into Chrome. In a matter of months, i can see this happening.

Except Google is known to have a spurious attitude towards privacy, so that would ruin it,

perhaps, but it occurs to me that the type of people that regularly use Google products are the type of people who might worry about privacy and security.

Well I've used it for a couple of days and although it seems quick it's just not as robust as firefox,

also iron's adblocker can't hold a candle to adblockplus, it's fairly rubbish.

Exactly. So why wouldnt Google implement the privacy and security benefits of this arbitrary, third-party, app?
