SRWare Iron new version released - Page 2

EntitY · 26. Sep 2009, 04:44 AM

Iron is my favorite browser now. I liked Firefox, but it got to buggy with the new engine and for some reason their still having trouble fixing it after several updates. I noticed with Iron, when I go into TVShack.com to watch a movie, I don't get the popup in there and the site has no mention of an AdBlocker being used. With Firefox and AdBlock Plus the site noticed it and gave a flag stating, This site is ad-promoted and please disable your adblocker. So, it appears that Iron does have adblocking capabilities

Please give more details about this. How did you find Firefox buggy?

right click doesn't work for me...
i imported bookmarks from ie8

Now a bookmark icon has been available to Chrome 3.0, don't need right click.

Add " --bookmark-menu" (a leading space, without quotes) at the end of the shortcut to Chrome.exe, then run Chrome from the shortcut.

Bookmark sync is available to Chrome 4.0 (beta).

Add " --bookmark-menu --enable-sync" to the shortcut.

Not sure if they're applicable to SRWare Iron.

Hi Anupam, mainly since the new engine, I can feel a slight drag on my Windows XP and I get too many, "Server cannot be found" when trying to open websites. I probably hold the worlds record for reinstalling FF, and that is after removing every file. I even tried every fix known to the web. Finally I simply got fed up and installed Iron and it made me recall how quick and smooth a browser is suppose to operate. Don't get me wrong here. I would switch back to FF in a heartbeat, if it functioned nearly as good as Iron. I simply like the layout of FF the best.

I forgot to mention...What got me really upset with Firefox is when it started freezing, hanging. That is when I finally ditched it for Iron. You might check out the FF Forum Support website, to see the long list of annoyances...

Entity i don't use ff for the same reasons you posted..plus the memory leaks.

Hi Aqua, yes and it's really a shame in my book. I could go back to an earlier FF version, but would have the security issues. Let's just hope that someone at Mozilla finds a workable solution to, what once was an Outstanding Web Browser...
