Download Google Chrome Clone Browser SRWare Iron

Whole blogospear was buzzing with the launch of Google Chrome Browser. However Google entering into Browser war was totally unexpected, it has created ditch like feeling after supporting open source Firefox and now launching its own browser.

There are several concern raised with Google Chrome Browser, one biggest concern among chrome users is Google Chrome Privacy Policy. With this privacy policy, Google gets enough power to get smallest details like which user is surfing what.

Google Chrome Browser is based on Chromium-Source which is open source projectSRWare has used this open source Chromium to build Iron browser which is a clone of Google Chrome and emulates exactly same features like Google Chrome.

Iron browser has disabled following tracking features

Client id – every Google Chrome Browser has unique client id to track users surfing habits, Google Suggest, Timestamp of installation, URL tracker, RLZ tracking, Chrome Updater Alternet Error Page and Error Reporting.

Another good thing about Iron Browser is, it uses latest version of Webkit 525.19.

Apple updates Rendezvous

Apple Computer has published updated source code to its Rendezvous network-configuration technology for use in Windows, Linux, Unix and Java applications.

The move is designed to entice developers to use the code to incorporate the "zero configuration" technology into their own applications. The software allows network devices to automatically connect to other components of a network and to communicate what features they have to offer. The technology competes with the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) technology that Microsoft has developed.

Apple made the announcement Tuesday during its annual Developer's Conference in San Francisco.

While Apple open-sourced the code to Rendezvous for the Mac OS X and the underlying Unix-like Darwin operating system almost two years ago, the latest development release adds new tools for users and expanded functionality.

"By supporting an open standards process and providing open-source software that is available today, Apple is encouraging the rapid adoption of Rendezvous technology," Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing, said in a statement marking the original release of the code.

The current release includes full support for linking to other devices using standard Internet protocols and allows Windows machines to advertise and discover Web servers and file servers on a local network using Internet Explorer. A printer setup wizard allows Windows networks to use Rendezvous compliant printers.

The Linux development kit is a bit more raw, but includes three components that allow Unix, BSD, Linux and Solaris computers to communicate with other Rendezvous devices.

The software can be downloaded from Apple's Web site.
