Google’s new browser Chrome: innovative, fast, safe, the perfect all-round browser. But is it really as great as it sounds? It has got many new features, including the new V8 JavaScript engine, dynamic tabs, crash control, incognito mode, and so on.

But many people criticize the new “box for everything”, as Google calls its adress bar. As you type, it suggests websites from your history or favorites, but also websites which match your search criteria. This is realized by sending whatever you type to Google, including a unique browser ID. Using this browser ID, Google can track your internet activity all the time. There are ways to disable this tracking, but who really knows about this trick?

Now there is a German Company who used gaps in Google’s BSD license to create a full version of Chrome without any personal data transmitted to Google using the open source code of Chromium (the code on which Chrome is based) and reverse-engineering of the original Chrome browser.
The result is called “SRWare Iron”. You might try it anyway, here’s the link:

A backpack receives radio signals sent from a nearby laptop (up to 500m away) which are sent to electrodes implanted in the rat’s brain. The brain recognises this small electrical stimulus and interprets it as an object touching its whiskers.
