![]() ![]() ![]() Provides several work-arounds, including links to files necessary to create a customized adblock.ini as follows. On SRwares web site adblock.ini is at but is dated. "To block malicious ad servers, add adblock.ini to the "Iron" program folder."Įxtracting IronPortable.zip places an empty adblock.ini in the Iron folder. The link to adblock.ini is broken in the paragraph, I have Flash disabled on all but two sites which use the older version just fine. the latest update to Flash 18 works, however. Note: trying to install the latest Adobe Flash for Firefox crashed my XP system, XP is basically no longer supported with version 19. Maybe someone will figure out how to "port" this to Iron without doing a bunch of stuff in file explorers etc. Install 43, which still supports the (old) flash players (be they however insecure.)Ĭhrome itself has a built in alternative to Flash in the latest version. If you have no need for Flash or most other browser plug-ins, feel free, you'll be secure (but missing quite a bit of content.)Īlternatives: Do not update to 45. If you don't, be aware you're installing malware. The former plug-ins do not work, and the latest download which would be supported in Iron contains malware, checked by over 40 different engines and cannot be installed if you have ANY anti-malware engine running. You cannot add Flash support to version 45 of Iron. I understand this is a security issue, however, if you do need Flash, this is not the browser for you. They also create the following folders/files:Ĭ:\Users\*\AppData\Local\Chromium\User DataĬ:\Users\*\AppData\Local\Chromium\User Data\CrashpadĬ:\Users\*\AppData\Local\Chromium\User Data\Crashpad\metadataĬ:\Users\*\AppData\Local\Chromium\User Data\Crashpad\reportsĬ:\Users\*\AppData\Local\Chromium\User Data\Crashpad\settings.dat The only Chromium browser that doesn't create these keys is Chromium Portable ( ). I can see it being created using Regshot and get to it and delete it with an alternate registry editor. Incidentally, For Linux here, For Mac hereis.īelow, we will explain the case of Windows version.Just noting that Iron Portable and SRWare Iron Portable, as well as GoogleChromePortable and X-Chromium, create these registry keys:Īlso note that the HKLM key is hidden in regedit. User Agent switching function: You can name your favorite UserAgent by rewriting UA.iniĮnhance thumbnail at preview: When you open a new tab, GoogleChrome will display 8 thumbnail images, but 12 Iron can be displayed.įor Windows This pageAnd click "Download" to download the installer. There are no abilities by just scraping, so the following three useful functions are added instead.Īd block: There is an easy-to-use ad blocking function ( hereJust put adblock.ini in "SRWare Iron" folder of the main body) URL tracker: It's set 5 seconds after Google's page is called, but not in Iron. Google Updater: Because Iron does not have "Google Updater.exe" where Windows is kept secretly during startup, it does not consume precious computer resources. RLZ tracking: Information generated when Chrome was downloaded and sent to Google servers. Iron does not have such a function in the first place. Iron does not do that extra thing.Įrror report: If you crash, that information will be automatically sent to Google. Suggest function: All strings entered in the address bar will be sent to Google, but Iron will not send it.Īnother error page: If you enter the address of a page that does not exist in the address bar, that address will be sent to Google and a different error page will be returned from Google server instead. ![]() Installation ID: GoogleChrome generates an installation ID at the first launch after installation and sends it to Google, and it is used for generating promotion code at the time of campaign, etc. The difference between Google Chrome and Iron is summarized in a tabular format on the following page. Because it is compatible with Google Chrome, scripts that work with Google Chrome will also work with Iron. That means that if you remove the extra extra features it will be more privacy attentive and you should be able to lighter and faster, the browser made by saying " Iron"Will be. GoogleChrome is actually an open source code " ChromiumIt is made from a browser which completed by implementing some functions on Google's own implementation there. 21:29:53 Iron, a browser that removes unnecessary functions from Google Chrome and is lighter and faster ![]()
