JDPower Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Whilst continuing my playing about with Iron and Chromium I noticed there's a significant new version of Iron: Based on Chromium 3 you can download a new stable version of Iron. There are many new features like Theme-Support, a new flexbible "New Tab"-Page and a working and stable extension system. We also added a User-Agend Switcher to Iron, so you can change it without having trouble with parameters. To use another browserstring just create a textfile called "UA.ini" in the Iron-Directory and put your userstring in the first line. After restarting Iron your customized string is used! http://www.srware.net/en/software_srware_iron_download.php (EDIT: There does seem to be a minor bug with tab selection at present - "Open in new tab" gives new tab focus instead of loading in background as it used to but this is being discussed on their forum so expect a fix will be available asap) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDPower Posted August 15, 2009 Author Share Posted August 15, 2009 Huh, it has adblocking ability built in, just download the adblock.ini and put it in the Iron folder in place of the one that's there: http://srware.net/downloads/adblock.ini.

JDPower Posted August 16, 2009 Author Share Posted August 16, 2009 built in,,but i have to download an .iniwell i just uninstalled it,,thanks anyway The ini is already there when installed, just blank so you can add the entries you want or download a block list of your choice (which they also supply), most browsers require an add on of some sort to block ads, unless of course you use a modded Hosts file. Anyway I didn't post to start a debate about the pros and cons of Iron (I use Firefox 90% of the time and was, until this update, undecided between Iron and Chromium as a backup browser), just stumbled across the update and thought it would be of use to anyone using Iron and not aware of the update.
