Thanks. Fixed crash with youtube. But still getting a problem. I set my homepage, and when I launch Iron Portable, instead of showing my homepage it keeps loading, loading and loading and nothing else. It´s running now for about 10 minutes and still loading.

Thanks for the new version. 95 seems to be skipped. Bravo.
The youtube and instagram problems seem to be fixed.
The passwords and cookies that were unreachable after I downgraded to version 93 seem to be back as well.

Having an issue with Sync.

When I try to turn on sync in settings, it asks me to logon, then immediately closes the settings tab without enabling sync.

I'm also having to logon every time I access, for example, gmail. I don't believe I set it to behave like that and it wasn't behaving like that in version 94.

Sorry to say that the previously excellent reliability and usability of Iron has taken a bit of a downturn recently, although I can easily believe it's not all SRware's fault.

[edit] just seen the instructions about sync, which of course I didn't see when I downloaded via the updater. Sync is now on. I haven't yet verified if logins are persistent now. I'm not clear why what seems to be a workaround is required?

@Ans. Maybe you should delete (or rename for testing) the folder User Data in Appdata\local\chromium. The folder is recreated automatically. You can rename the previous one back if you renamed it for testing.

Hi, thanks for Your job!
but .. - on win7 home-base, with chrome-exts instaled: ublock orig, ezlink preview, dark night mode, tab activate - for portab vers 94 and 96 - get often pop-up - "there are not enough mem at os - close prog..".. - task mngr show 50% mem free.., when i close that pop-up and continue work - than iron is hanging up often.. - it is very sad... - as solution - i'm launching iron ver. 88 - it's working very stable at same "config"( not 89...), but maybe old a little.. may be - you don't now about such problem - and so it is repeated ver. 94 -> 96.. will be waiting new vers of Your iron..

Iron is my favorite browser long time... maybe more than 8, 9, 10 years... I don't remember when I started using it.
Main reason to dich the Chrome was tracking, more control of my data (files on hard disk) and superb interface fast response, even I have opened 50+ tabs at once...
What I noticed with this version (maybe all v90) first is that interface is lagging, enormous... I think I can't be at peace with this... Not at All...
Whay this happens? What I can do (with options on/off) to reduce CPU heavy load? And How I can turn off poping pictures when I hoover with a mouse above tabs?
tnx for your time
