SRWare Iron is a web browser that uses the open-source code of Google Chrome. Its use is therefore the same, except that SRWare aims to protect user privacy.
However, it is criticized by data security specialists for reasons such as the creation of a unique user ID or the submission of entries to Google to generate suggestions.
SRWare Iron is just as easy to use as Google Chrome, since the interface is exactly the same. This browser allows users to browse discreetly without feeling lost. However, it's best suited for experienced users, as they need to manage updates themselves.
Finally, the browser does not automatically upload installed plug-ins, leaving the user free to decide what to install or not.
