Iridium Browser 62.1.0

Iridium Secure WebRTC Browser

Iridium is a free, open, and libre browser modification of the Chromium code base, with privacy being enhanced in several key areas. Automatic transmission of partial queries, keywords, metrics to central services inhibited and only occurs with consent. In addition, all Iridium builds are reproducible, and modifications are auditable, setting the project ahead of other secure browser providers.

Differences between Iridium and Chromium:

Security improvements

Increase RSA keysize to 2048 bits for self-signed certificates (used by WebRTC)
Generate a new WebRTC identity for each connection instead of reusing identities for 30 days
Generate a new ECDHE keypair for each WebRTC connection instead of reusing them for multiple connections
Disable using system-provided plugins (i.e. Java, Flash, etc.)
