'Chromium (which Iridium is based on) is a very secure browser, yes. It starts very fast and loads and renders also very complex web sites really fast. It takes the Chromium code base, which is also used for the official Chrome browser, and enhances its security, and sets certain policies by default. Iridium is not another new browser from scratch. Since the tight integration with its inventor (Google) makes many things easier it does not comply with restrictive data environments. Chrome is fast, stable, and user-friendly but does not meet many organizations’ demands for privacy.

We analyzed the code of Chromium and stripped out the functionality which exposes data to others in a way we don‘t like'. So we decided to use the power of free software and build a browser that can do both. 'Before Iridium Browser, we had to decide if we wanted to have cutting edge technologies like sandboxed processes, WebRTC, WebUSB …, or if we wanted to use a browser that respects privacy.

In addition, all builds are reproducible and modifications are auditable, setting the project ahead of other secure web browser providers.

Automatic transmission of partial queries, keywords, metrics to central services is prevented and only occurs with the approval of the user. All modifications enhance the privacy of the user and make sure that the latest and best secure technologies are used.

The Iridium Browser is based on the Chromium codebase.
