![]() ![]() This is a fair observation (because, after all, if your browser is malicious you may as well file for bankruptcy right now) and everyone is entitled to their own decision whether to use Iron or not. One concern of many people is the fact that Iron comes from a third-party developer that is not very well known. (For more on how to implement Iron’s adblocker, refer here.) Ending Note Just make sure to leave both adblockers enabled because each one alone will not be as effective. This will be like double-duty adblocking, but from my experience it doesn’t slow down the browser, and you will have a superior adblock set-up. Using Fanboy’s Adblock List for Iron, you can now supplement Adblock Plus for its shortcomings. Here is where Iron’s built-in adblock comes to the rescue. The developers of Adblock Plus have said that it is much harder to block ads in Chrome because of the way the browser is coded. You will notice that, on many occasions, ads get past Chrome’s Adblock Plus filter. If you have ever used both Firefox’s and Chrome’s version of Adblock Plus, you will agree that the Firefox version is far superior. Last but not least, Iron has its own built-in Adblock.Fortunately, Iron doesn’t leave old files behind after an update, unlike Chrome. ![]() When one does come out (usually monthly), just download and install it over the old. Iron updates come out less frequently, and there is no auto-update feature (but the developer says it is in the works).Another built-in element of Chrome that isn’t in Iron is the bundled Adobe Flash Player.I personally recommend SumatraPDF – which also has its own plugin for in-browser viewing. But heck, there are many great alternative PDF readers out there. ![]()
