Many people refuse to use Chrome because of the tracking features. It constantly reports back to Google where you are surfing on the internet, and a lot of other private information. This is why I don't use it. Wouldn't it be good if you could use Chrome with the spy features removed? Guess what... You can! There is another version of Chrome available that uses the same open source browser engine, but the hidden "report back to Google" spy features have been removed. You can find the no-spy version for Linux here: http://www.srware.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=835 This version released on Sept. 8 is called SR-Ware Iron, and It has some plugins added for Linux that make it more functional than the original beta release. Before you install the Iron browser, you may want to read the details of what spyware they removed from the same open-source browser engine that Google uses: http://www.srware.net/en/software_sr...me_vs_iron.php You can also read their pages in German, which are a little clearer to understand than the English page translations. You will see they have no spyware, and they are also using a newer version of the browser engine which is significantly faster than the Chrome browser uses. You can download the Iron browser for Windows, or Linux. The Windows version comes with a full plugin pack, and there is also a windows version that can be run from a flash memory stick that does not need installing. For linux, you must install the Iron browser, and not as many plugins are available. But the good news is Iron browser is fast, and no reporting any spy information from your PC. You will find that Firefox works better than Iron or Chrome browser because Firefox does not have problems using plugins like Chrome and Iron do. I find a few web pages that have error messages with Iron browsr, but not with Firefox. Iron is still good for most web pages, and it is very fast browsing. Best wishes, J_P
