logoIron Portable 14.0.850.0 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, improves portability and adds automatic support for the jPortable portable Java runtime environment. 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 app store in the PortableApps.com Platform Pre-Release.

Features

ScreenshotIron 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 Suite including the Menu and Backup Utility.

Custom.nsh

${SegmentPreExec}

I've given myself a note to use this next time. I'll implement it in the Chrome update coming tomorrow as well.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Hi John T. Haller, first of all thanks for this great work you are doing; i want to report a problem after a forced restart on an PC running Iron Portable 14, when i try to open iron i get a message that say another instance of Iron is closing, please wait before run again, now evrey PC that i try i get this message, i think something is wrong because i never see this message before.

Thanks.

I had something similar happen a few months ago - as I recall, the solution was to delete a particular file in the Iron Portable directory. I don't remember what it was, but it wasn't too hard to find the answer.
