We probably all remember the introduction of Chrome… the browser of Google.

Probably you also remember some rumors about the tracking of what you put into the address line of your browser -  giving each Chrome his own ID – working with timestamps.

And they where all true…. BUT – maybe you really did like Chrome because of the fast rendering? Well; I did….but I didn’t like Google looking over my shoulder. The people of SRWare came with the solution; as the Chromium Source is free….. SRWare made the same browser WITHOUT all the tracking features and they called it IRON;
