Iron is Chrome Without Google Watching

Google’s ability to gather information through the Chrome browser has spooked many, inspiring the creation of Iron, a freeware version of Chrome that cuts all data being transferred to Google HQ. So if you’re one of those people who thinks that maybe even Google can’t handle all that power (note, knowledge is power) and use every other search engine and Internet Explorer, then you’d better get Iron. It’s exactly the same as Chrome, without the data swapping. But don’t think it’ll actually protect you because, as you know, you’re online.
