SRWare Iron - The Browser of the Future

iron=chrome with adblock for me, basically. Seeing as adblock was the only reason for me to use Firefox to begin with, I switched.

i started using it again a couple of weeks ago. like it alot. its fast and i like the clean layout. there are a couple of small annoyances ive noticed though.

 

[Illidan]

Using Chrome couple of days and I like them. But there's a problem, I was using google notebook with FireFox and they worked great as I could see a small notebook icon on the right bottom of the browser and clipping was easy, but now I have to open notebook in full page to do the paste, any approach for these on Chrome?

I wuv chrome for simple stuff. It loads in like 3 seconds. Firefox takes like 30 seconds.

Get Pnotes from portableapps.com it sits in your system tray.

Just installed the Iron browser (portable version) and have even set it as my default browser. Thanks for the link above. It's Chrome without the privacy issues that google tags on. One tip: if you want to use the portable version and want it to be your default browser you have to make that setting with it using admin mode on Vista or it can't change the registry setting. After that it will be registered as default browser and no longer needs to be run in admin mode.

I don't really miss it, since Camino do a great job, but it would be nice to give it a try...
Some day maybe?

How do I access the different search engines I imported from Firefox into Chrome? I know how to change the default search engine but in FF I can select which search engine to use with the drop down box at any time. Can't do that in Chrome?

Do you have dial up? On my PC, no web page takes 30 seconds with firefox.

Not only that, but it's in it's infancy. Security and bugs are going to be time consuming and annoying.. it may better firefox down the road - just not yet.

He's probably talking about loading (starting) the browser itself, not the webpage content. Firefox is a damn slow starter...

 

[milkweg]

On XP it is but I don't find FF a slow starter on Vista64. I guess that is Superfetch doing its job.

Something weird about portable version of Chrome/Iron. If I start the browser from my quicklaunch in the taskbar, startmenu or keyboard they all are using different settings than what I set up initially. Same exe from same folder in same account and they all can use separate settings from each shortcut I choose to start the brower from. That's odd and have never seen that behavior in a browser before. I don't want it to do that either.
