2024-11-07	Anonymous Entity	Solid alternative to Google Chrome it even still works on Windows 7 if you got a retro gaming PC. I recommend Chrome users testing it out as well some people are saying it's slow I say it's ridiculously fast. Make sure to put AdGuard or uBlock Lite on it I also suggest Linux users to use this over Chromium since it's more updated. It's basically a hardened Google Chrome with more security.
2024-06-21	Andrew Ratcliff	It's a browser but look at all the spying it does! It sends your data to 8 data collectors. And I just installed it and it has asked for my phone data about 200 times in the matter of less than a minute. Not a secure browser.
2022-08-30	bird_d00	Used to be a semi-decent browser, but now gives warnings about "insecure" websites. Anything that isn't an https now generates warning messages. I refuse to accept this attempt at web censorship, and this browser would be reverted to a previous version, but only the latest version is available, and you can't share a version from another phone. This browser will now be deleted, and a decent one used instead.
2022-06-09	Gilak am	Great browser I use it for more than 12 years, you can happily leave hundred tabs left open and not worry to loose them, but it does not have any functions to export/import Bookmarks, the Sync doesn't even works, neither any ability to View Source Code of the pages. Also a bug, the counting number for Tabs, only shows well upto 99 tabs, once it's 3 digit count, then it does not show properly, the square box which tab count shows in it, does not expand when the tab counts becomes 3 digit !!!
2022-01-16	Zombie Killer	It was a good browser, I have been using the browser with the Windscribe vpn since I first downloaded it. About a week ago I was using it (with the vpn like I always do) but the browser wouldn't work. I got a screen saying that I had to check my connection. I checked my wifi connection everything. It won't work with my vpn in regular mode or incognito. I've checked SRWare forums and sent an email to support and no response. This is my last resort. I'll update my review if the problem is resolved
2021-12-03	Break Dancin' Fool	I want to love this - loyal PC iron user for 10+ years! Definitely not up to par with Chrome, FireFox or Opera. Covers the essentiaks but is missing many important features. No ability to backup or export bookmarks. Need a way to save out bookmarks in case of phone transfer or factory reset? Nope. No Google Sync either. Browser touch interaction breaks often, requiring you to minimize or exit and restart app to get things working right. Id gladly spend money to buy a fully featured version.
2021-08-26	John Grabetz	Would love to be able to sign in to get all my bookmarks. Right now I keep getting "user account already exists" when trying to log in. Lost one more star because Updated version keeps crashing when there are videos. When are you going to fix it? It's very annoying.
2021-06-01	Hamed Bahmany	The browser is great and blocks Google's extra permissions well. But there is only one small problem, it would be better if the browser comes with an internal AdBlock (like adblock plus). Please note this in later editions Run in the browser.
2021-05-12	Mark Martin	gonna have to uninstall. been using it for years and this latest update killed it. constant crashes, even after i cleared all data/cache and started fresh. i'll come back to it when its fixed. update: tried again after developer stated its fixed. it is not. like another person mentions, iron seems to go crazy when theres a video. i know its not my phone because both chrome and edge load the same pages just fine.
2021-02-27	Abe Yumul	bookmark sync for pc and mobile does not work which is very important. I installed the pc version and then android version on my phone. Was asked to enter my email (gmail) address to sync but there was a messae 'this account already exists' which ia funny because it was supposed to exist. Got stucked in the process, will uninstall my pc and android iron browser.
