Iron Portable 16.0.950.0 has been released. SRWare Iron is 'The browser of the future' - based on the free Sourcecode "Chromium" - but without some features that privacy advocates object to. This release updates Iron to the latest version. It's packaged in PortableApps.com Format so it can easily integrate with the PortableApps.com Platform. And it's open source and completely free.
Iron is packaged for portable use with permission from SRWare.
Update automatically or install from the portable app store in the PortableApps.com Platform.
Features
Iron is based on the open source Chromium source code that the Google Chrome browser is based on. Iron does not include the unique ids, timestamps, custom error pages and other information present in some Google Chrome packages.
PortableApps.com Installer / PortableApps.com Format
Iron Portable is packaged in a PortableApps.com Installer so it will automatically detect an existing PortableApps.com installation when your drive is plugged in. It supports upgrades by installing right over an existing copy, preserving all settings. And it's in PortableApps.com Format, so it automatically works with the PortableApps.com Platform including the Menu and Backup Utility.

Warning: Writing Cache To Disk
Unfortunately IronPortable STILL writes cache files to disk - the Iron folder is growing bigger and bigger like a fat duck - is actually anybody testing this app before releasing it here as "portable"?
It is a basic requirement for portable browsers NOT to write cache files to disk - the maintainer of this release should check for this annoying misbehaviour.
IronPortable could be a great browser - chrome without the privacy invasion - but to complain with it´s own high demands caching must be disabled!
Hve a nice day!
