SRWare Iron
SRWare Iron is a Chromium-based web browser which is developed by the company SRWare.[3] The browser aims to stop tracking and other features that compromise the privacy of users that the Google Chrome browser includes.[4] The browser also includes some Chromium privacy options turned on by default, and some more features that Google Chrome does not have.[1][4]

Criticism
In December 2014, Lifehacker said that Iron offers little that is not possible by simply configuring Google Chrome's privacy settings.[5] However, the_simple_computer wrote that Iron removes the Google Native Client, Google's custom navigation and error pages and other similar features.[6]
