Main improvements:
- improved speed + stability
- TLS 1.2 Support
- Security-/Bugfixes
I've rolled back to Iron v. 28.0.1550.1.
Improved stability of Iron 20.0.1600.0 is sad failure.
Browse webmail service, such as Gmail, and Iron crashes repeatedly ('Aw, Snaps!' error). Reading web e-mail with Iron (on my Win 7 x64 machine) is not practical.
Browsing of live-updating blogs, such as hosted by mainstream news media (my tests included live news blog hosted by
http://www.theguardian.co.uk) also fails with repeated crashes.
Is Transport Layer Security 1.2 important any more? Only stops non-USA cheaters, liars, and thieves?!
If we accept revelations of Edward Snowden, USA NSA has had access to Secure Socket Layer keys of Google, Microsoft, Apple and other US-based corporates for months, if not years.
With SSL keys and massive computing power, USA NSA likely can penetrate any generation of TLS, from any server. Hard to believe minions of Great Satan can resist fulfilling their mission of making cyberspace a panopticon with all corners open to inspection by USA government operatives, USA corporates, and cheaters, liars, and thieves integral to USA version of capitalism.
Hard to maintain confidence in anything related to a USA-based corporate. Includes Iron.
SRWare has worked hard up to now to remove routines, embedded in Chrome source code, reporting all browsing behaviour to USA NSA via Google.
Now USA NSA compromise of SSL TLS is known, question is whether any non-USA corporate has will and capacity to invent protocol for securing data transmission that cannot be penetrated by USA and its Anglophone subsidiaries (so-called 'Five Eyes' - note that name indicates that each partner is one-eyed).
