how do you know that SRWare Iron is free from privacy invasions? You never know.
The Range, I did not say that. What I said was "with all of Google's nasty privacy invasions removed." they are:

RLZ identifier, an encoded string sent together with all queries to Google or once every 24 hours.
Google search access on startup for users with Google as default search
A unique ID ("clientID") for identifying the user in logs.
A timestamp of when the browser was installed.
Google-hosted error pages when a server is not present
Google Updater automatic installation.
DNS pre-fetching, because it could potentially be used by spammers.
Automatic address bar search suggestions.
Bug tracking system, sends information about crashes or errors.

Plus tracking information.

Since SRWare Iron is an open source project you download the source code and check it.
