Also, a tip for anyone who wanted to install Chrome extensions on the older SRWare Iron version (like I did with Iron version 27.0):
markaz wrote:One thing to keep in mind is that Google is more than aware that non-Chrome users are still able to access extensions and are taking measures to plug every loophole. Their newest one is the creation of a _metadata file that is part of a download and not "installed" in the User Data directory. Here's the newest message that appears in Iron when trying to install a .crx extension downloaded from the Webstore using the Downloader:
In looking at the .crx file name there is no "_" at the beginning of the name, so it's their recently added _metadata. I know no nothing about coding, but do wonder if this "barrier" is one that Iron developers could address. Dunno. What are a couple of the extensions you'd like to get? I want to see if I'm able to get them installed.Again, thanks a lot to SRWare Iron teamXtremeRampage wrote:I think I discovered from ABP forum a way to "fool" the Chrome developers shady attempt to forbid old extensions/chrome users:
https://adblockplus.org/forum/viewtopic ... 6&start=15In my case, I tried to install an extension using above method but SRWare Iron still "unable" to accept the extension. The workaround is that I rename the folder contained within the unzipped extension (e.g: _metadata to metadata) before clicking the "Load unpacked extension..." button.change the extension from crx to zip
Then un-zip file the file locally. ==> in a folder
In chrome, go to the extensions page (tools -> extensions), select the 'Developer mode' checkbox
Click the "Load unpacked extension..." button
Navigate to the location of the unzip ABP extension folder. and select it.
ABP extension should load.

Same! I just went to it tonight to discover only 2 versions, and the portable folder versions to now be .EXEs not a .ZIPdilligaf401 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 21, 2021 12:38 am I remember this site (http://download1.srware.net/old/), or one very similar to it, used to have many many historical versions of SWIron.
Now its only showing versions 91 and 92.
Any chance of going back at least a little bit further?
Im having real problems ever since I upgraded to 92.
Downgrades to 91 don't seem to be working for some reason and Im really trying to fix this situation.
We have added some more versions. please check. More coming soonLur wrote: ↑Fri Sep 10, 2021 4:51 pm Yeah versions 91 and 92 are really useless(we all know whose fault that is and it ain't SRWare), it would be good to at least have 80 and up available again, maybe 70 and up. Frankly security vulnerabilities concern me a lot less than basic usability, which 9x versions are entirely lacking.
Is there any chance of seeing those older versions at http://download1.srware.net/old/ once more?
I did search third party websites but have not had much luck.
