SRWare Iron vs. Chrome differences

The following Google Chrome features are not present in Iron:^[14][15]

• RLZ identifier, an encoded string sent together with all queries to Google^[16] or once every 24 hours.
• Google search access on startup for users with Google as default search^[16][17]
• A unique ID (“clientID”) for identifying the user in logs.
• A timestamp of when the browser was installed.
• Google-hosted error pages when a server is not present
• Google Updater automatic installation.
• DNS pre-fetching,^[18] because it could potentially be used by spammers.^[19][20][21]
• Automatic address bar search suggestions.

echo “deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian sid main” >> /etc/apt/sources.list
