What SRWare Iron is

SRWare Iron is a free browser built on Chromium, available for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android. It uses the Blink rendering engine and supports Chrome Store extensions and cross-device sync. The maker presents Iron as a privacy-focused alternative to Chrome, saying it omits features such as an installation ID, suggestion requests, alternate error pages, error reporting, RLZ tracking, and URL tracking. Iron is described as installing only selected software without bloatware, with performance optimizations included. Windows downloads include 32-bit and 64-bit installers and portable versions, with options for Windows 10, 11, 7, and 8. macOS users can choose Intel software for macOS 10.15 or newer or an Apple Silicon version. Linux offers a 64-bit package for Debian, Ubuntu, and Mint, plus a link for other systems. Android installation is available through Google Play or a manual APK. The browser is free, and donations are accepted.
