"Customize Google-""Application For Chrome/Iron

by sergieyes Jun 23, 2010 3:46PM PDT

There is an application named Customize Google which started out in Firefox and spread to IE and Opera. Rumor is that it is not any longer developed,and the FF addon is named Optimize Google. Well,I want it for Iron. Can anyone show me how to get/accomplish that? ADVISE.
"FEATURES OF CUSTOMIZE GOOGLE
Use Google Suggest (suggest words while you're typing);Add links to competitors;Rewrite links to point straight to the images in Google Images;Removes image copying restrictions in Google Book Search;Secure Gmail and Google Calendar, switch to https;Block Google Analytics cookies;Hide the Gmail spam counter;Make URL previews on sponsored links visible;Add favicons in the web search result;Remove ads;Anonymize your Google user id;Add a result counter in search result; Filter spammy websites from search results;Add links to WayBack Machine (webpage history);Remove click tracking;Add links from Google to your bookmark manager;Use a fixed font for Gmail mail bodies
;Stream Google search result pages;Sticky Google Preferences."
Thanks for your help in getting Customize Google for Iron.

Not sure I understand

Those words, "Customize Google for Iron", do not mean anything to me.

What is Iron, in this respect?

"Customize Google-""Application For Chrome /Iron Browsers
by sergieyes Jun 24, 2010 1:20AM PDT

Hi Mark,no problem! Google made the Chrome Browser,a good engineering job which in effect skinned the Webkit rendering engine. Chrome was Open Source,and Chrome had no privacy. So some snappy and clever lads over in Germany made Chrome private by modifying its open code to make it NOT connected to Google. Private Chrome Browser is named Iron Browser.

Google makes great apps,but,then,its got to get cash,so it is NOT private for the user.
Here is Customize Google for IE Browser. I want this same sort of application for my Iron Browser (Chrome-Privatized Browser).

Ahh that's great

and very interesting. Thanks for that.

But sadly it's so new, at least to me, that I can't help you. I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere in these forums before.

I'm sure you've already considered this but my first port of call would be the Iron developers themselves. It may be that the Add-on world hasn't caught up with this yet.

Good luck in your search.

Robb: Iron Browser & Customize/Optimize Google
by sergieyes Jun 24, 2010 4:45AM PDT

Mark,i appreciate it. Right now,there is an addon for FF named Optimize Google,a variation on that theme, and there is an addon for Opera.Just FYI,in case you use IE, FF,or Opera. Conflicting rumors: (1) Cust.Goo.is not developed;(2) Cust Goo is expanding,into Opera etc.
Is there smoke,maybe fire?I hope so.
I did place a thread on the SRWare site--they are the parents of Iron. FYI,try and track Customize Google on the Google browser,and then you see conflict of interest in blazing neon. Its WW Gazillion to find that addon mentioned in Google Search, Ya gotta use one of the competitors like DogPile or Yahoo,who don't loose cash.
Please post if you run across anything for Iron.
