Iron includes other notable unique features. In contrast to Chrome, it implements the latest version of the WebKit rendering engine, and includes built-in ad blocking.<a href="http://www.nsanedown.com/?request=38352105" target="_blank">Download</a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toshiro Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 And therefor it's time for me to test it..First I'll have to sort out how to add plug ins :mellow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HX1 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I don't know but don't you wish SRWare would do something about their icon? I am currently tagging it with my Electroplated ( Executive Edition ) Chrome Icon..LOL.. Their icon has a lop-sided look to it I can't get over..Plugins or extensions? The extensions are easy..easier than what I thought.. and I have yet to ever install a plugin for Chrome or Iron..Might have something to do with Google Gears..

LeetPirate Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 I tried it today for the first time. It is actually really fast, so fast I was totally impressed. I think I will throw out Opera from my PC and use Iron instead :hehe: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted November 23, 2009 Administrator Share Posted November 23, 2009 Tried it. It's just another Chrome in looks. I just tested all the browsers I have with speedtest.net. And here are the results for me -Firefox - 56.1 KB/s download and 25.1 KB/s upload. Ping 76 ms.Chrome - 58.1 KB/s download and 25.5 KB/s upload. Ping 76 ms.SRWare Iron - 58.6 KB/s download and 25.8 KB/s upload. Ping 65 ms. :oInternet Explorer - 55.0 KB/s download and 25.4 KB/s upload. Ping 76 ms.Opera - You need atleast Adobe Flash Player 8 installed on your computer !? :huh: -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------I did these tests twice on the same browers and the resuts were same.So Iron is indeed a touch faster than Chrome but I was shocked to see the ping time.

Night Owl Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Thanks for frontpaging SRWare Iron. I really like how fast and stable it is and I use it a lot.Tried it. It's just another Chrome in looks. I just tested all the browsers I have with speedtest.net. And here are the results for me -Firefox - 56.1 KB/s download and 25.1 KB/s upload. Ping 76 ms.Chrome - 58.1 KB/s download and 25.5 KB/s upload. Ping 76 ms.SRWare Iron - 58.6 KB/s download and 25.8 KB/s upload. Ping 65 ms. :oInternet Explorer - 55.0 KB/s download and 25.4 KB/s upload.

Thanks for the results, DKT27. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeetPirate Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 DNS prefetching is disabled by default but you could enable it for a slight improvement in performance. I recommend to leave it disabled if you still use dial up because it prefetches many dns lookups and many of them you may not use in reality.

Administrator DKT27 Posted November 23, 2009 Administrator Share Posted November 23, 2009 @Night Owl: You are welcome. Well I was gonna post the images of the test, but I thought it reveals my personal info. That I don't want to show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HX1 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 That is why I like the 'Obscure' option in FastStone Capture.. Then I polish it off with WinSnap.. for important stuff.. Then when its a simple shot.. I use WinSnap and save the thumbnail..FastStone will let you do a scrolling screenshot of a page.. totally cool.. and does video..my main one.. always fall back on 'PrtScr' and 'Paint'.. but use WinSnap for its cool extras.. FastStone actually has the shadow options and a lot of extras as well.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jofre Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Is very fast,(even faster than Google Chrome) but without integration with Internet Download Manager ---» pity...Even so, I am going to use it, and Google Chrome is out.SRWare 4.0.227 Beta is working OK for now and faster than v. 3.Very good browser... :rockon: Thanks Jofre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manpe Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I installed it again yesterday... I used it a long time ago before, and it was buggy and slower than Chrome. But now, Iron feels a bit faster than Chrome tbh... It's of course a shame it isn't supported by IDM, I hope it will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HX1 Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I haven't actually integrated a DM for Safari or Iron yet. I have one that came with IE7Pro, and I use DTA for FF..Opera's is built-in..would be nice though..Safari's is more like IE's though..but if I am doing much downloading I use FF mostly anyway..

Administrator DKT27 Posted November 24, 2009 Administrator Share Posted November 24, 2009 Yea it's true. I tried my best but IDM doesn't work here. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Owl Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Free Download Manager 3.0.870 has "Google Chrome up to version 4.0 support". Unfortunately, it doesn't also support SRWare Iron. :(Like heath28m, I predominantly use Firefox to download, especially since DKT27 told us about the excellent SkipScreen add-on for Firefox.

LeetPirate Posted November 24, 2009 Author Share Posted November 24, 2009 good addition..if its on the frontpage,it has to be cool :)It's a super fast browser, excellent for use with netbooks and notebooks because it uses less cpu than Firefox and the rest which results in more battery runtime and less heat.

jofre Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Let`s call attention to Internet Download Manager `s authors to this Super-Rapid Web Browser.They must add an option to this browser too, sense Google Chrome and Apple Safari are included too.
