Opera is built on Chromium, the open-source version of Chrome, and as well as having its own extensions is compatible with most Chrome extensions (but not Chrome Applications).

jcaiken: Thanks for the suggestions but these entries really aim to just be a summary of the application. There's really no way to make sure we're highlighting all the tech, features, and difference from other applications, but you're right that the ad-bocking by default is notable so I'll add that in. |
SRWare Iron v71.0.3700.0 Updated
billon on 11 Jan 2019 Change history
- 160MB (uncompressed)
- Released on 11 Jan 2019
- Suggested by freakazoid
SRWare Iron is a privacy-enhanced web browser based on Chromium, the open source project behind Google Chrome. By default, Iron sends out less information as compared to Chrome (e.g., creating a unique user ID or the submission of entries to Google to generate suggestions), making it potentially more privacy friendly and secure in operation.
Iron supports both official and unofficial themes and some extensions from Chrome. Additionally, to enable blocking ad servers, a 'adblock.ini' is present in the program folder, and Opera's 'urlfilter.ini' can easily be converted to Iron's accepted format by following these instructions (or see comments below).
Note: It is recommended you change the homepage. The Iron default homepage may contain ads or links to fake adware-containing downloads.
Alternative packages:
- Iron Portable (adds password portabilization, path portabilization, registry cleanup and Java support)
- X-Iron (idem)
| Category: | |
| System Requirements: | Win7 / Win8 / Win10 |
| Writes settings to: | Application folder |
| Stealth: ? | No. It creates some registry keys in 'HKCU\Software\Chromium'. Start with --incognito parameter to prevent saving history and cookies after program closes. |
| Unicode support: | Yes |
| Path portability: | No |
| License: | BSD |
| How to extract: |
Download the "Portable" ZIP package and extract to a folder of your choice. Launch IronPortable.exe. XP/Vista is no longer supported but the last release version 49 is available. |

Great! Now that a new and native encryption algorithm, ChaCha20, and a new password hash, Argon2, has been added in version 2.35, I changed my database settings to include the new high security features. Now, if only someone will add more native high security features to KeePass 2.xx.

@Mixture - Although ChaCha20 is listed in the release notes as an encryption algorythm, I think this is actually a random number generator. While that's part of good crypto and the program is probably more secure as a result, I wouldn't describe the 2.xx series as insecure.

It doesn't even run and hangs if you don't allow it to connect to the Internet (at least the first time). Tried three times and dumped it for good after about one minute. |
