SRWare Iron v83.0.4250.0 Updated
billon on 5 Jul 2020 Change history
- 160MB (uncompressed)
- Released on 5 Jul 2020
- Suggested by freakazoid
SRWare Iron is a web browser based on Chromium, the open source project behind Google Chrome. By default, Iron communicates less information compared to Chrome (e.g., creating a unique user ID or the submission of entries to Google to generate suggestions), making some operations more private and secure.
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)

@smaragdus. Yep, not working, looks like the file is missing. I have contacted the author of the software for a fix.

ClipAngel v1.90 Updated
billon on 4 Jul 2020 Change history
- 8MB (uncompressed)
- Released on 4 Jul 2020
- Suggested by smaragdus
ClipAngel records all data copied including text, images and files, making it easy to retrieve earlier data where Windows usually allows only one item at a time. The program keeps data even after reboot and can paste in RDP, CMD, elevated windows etc. independently from current input language. Clipboard views include rich text and HTML formatting, filtering by text and details on URL, application and window data.
The program can emulate keyboard input and includes customizable hotkeys. For additional security, the program can block specific applications where passwords may be copied and encrypt stored items.

One does not need the BAT file ("ClipAngelPortable.bat") to start ClipAngel in portable mode, just run the EXE with this parameter- "ClipAngel.exe /p".

It's not mentioned but it requires admin rights to install a driver. Does it remove the driver on system reboot? I don't know, I couldn't find out very much information besides "there's no installation required". The developer proclaims "It's so simple to use, you don't need documentation." LOL. So much for that. |
