Introduction Google Chrome, as many of you know, has a tracking problem that concerns a lot of people. Like a fairy tale, there's always a problem. The Problem These are the evil tracking features of Google Chrome: Client-ID - Chrome creates a unique ID through which a user can be theoretically identified. Timestamp - Chrome remembers up to the second exactly when the software was installed. Suggest - Depending on the configuration, each time you put something in the address line,this information is sent to Google to provide suggestions. Alternate Error Pages - Depending on the configuration, if you have typed a false address in the adress bar, this is sent to Google and you get an error message from Google's servers. Error Reporting - Depending on the configuration, details about crashes or failures are sent Google's servers. RLZ-Tracking - This Chrome-function transmits information in encoded form to Google, for example, when and where Chrome has been downloaded. Google Updater - Chrome installs a updater, which loads at every Windows in background. URL-Tracker - Calls depending on the configuration five seconds after launch the Google homepage opens in background. The Solution Ahh, the big solution... 1. This solution only takes care of the Client-ID tracker/feature of Google Chrome. If this is all you care for, just download UnChrome from Abelssoft.com here: Download/Feature Page Direct Link (to download) 2. If you don't like all this other bullsh*t, like me, I just get the exact same browser, just a different name! SRWare Iron. Here's some screenshots between the both...if you can notice the difference: OK, so, you like it or not? Well, here are more pages that you might wanna look at for the SRWare Iron: Overview Chrome vs. Iron FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) Download Page Beta Download Page Adblocker Information The wish of many users comes true: We integrated an Adblocker in Iron! With a filterlist so nearly all online-advertising can be blocked. A working list can be downloaded here and just has to be copied to the Iron folder (e.g: C:\Program Files\SRWare Iron\). Note: You must first get the latest version of Iron you can find under "Downloads". So Iron is the first Chromium based web browser worldwide which has an adblocker included. HAPPY EPIC FAILZ ENDING! The Adblocker Information and Google Tracking information and text credit goes ALL to SRWare.net lightningstalon (me) wrote the guide... Thanks for reading, and I hope it helped!
Yes, that is exactly what it says in the guide. With Google Chrome, it tracks you with several features. SRWare Iron is based on the Chromium open-source without the tracking...
