Hmm, on a second look I see that Iridium appears focused on privacy, not security. In that case they should call it "private browser", not "secure browser". These words mean very different things.
Google's _security_ record is ridiculously good. Their _privacy_ record is at best questionable, and I can certainly see where people might be interested in a privacy-centric fork of Chrome.
That said, I was under the impression that all of Chrome's "phone-home" features can be turned off via settings.
