For privacy issues, it's probably better to go with Iron, which is compiled from Chrome source but w/o the tracking bits. For details <http://www.srware.net/en/software_srware_iron_chrome_vs_iron.php>. Apart from that, both Firefox 3.5 & Internet Explorer 7+ have incognito-like surfing abilities. But, if you're looking for (near-) total anonymity, hopefully someone else can help. fyi, -- -Craig

The url I posted should answer your question but, if not, we can follow up. In short though, Chrome Incognito mode and Iron Incognito mode are exactly the same. They are built from the same source code. What differs is google's ability to track your usage & activity. All of that does not exist in Iron. Btw, in addition to Firefox & Internet Explorer, Apple's Safari, Seamonkey & Opera all have an "incognito" type mode. hth, -- -Craig

Well, "aware" or not, for those using or considering the use of Chrome, I suggest they stop in at the above url to see what Iron is up to. It makes for a quick read and there are key differences which may be valuable to the privacy-conscious. -- -Craig
