Portable version of Aurora, Nightly, or even UX version?

Is it possible to make all or one of those and post it on the site? I'd appreciate it!! I really want a portable version of the latest UX, cause I heard they finally re-added animated tabs back! I wanted to try that out!! I'm on someone else's computer, so I can't install stuff normally. I need portable versions!! Thanks!!

Not Yet

There are currently no animated tabs on the Aurora or even Nightly builds. We don't currently make them available due to building time. We'll likely re-release our tool to let users automatically download the current builds in the near future.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

I know that

I said the animated tabs were/are in the UX version. They may have taken them out already. That has happened in the past. That's the one I really wanted a portable version of, but I'd be happy with Aurora or Nightly as well. I just want to be able to try them out without installing them. Glad to hear it is at least possible in the future. Thanks!

To note, UX and Nightly are

To note, UX and Nightly are completely experimental. Features get added and removed without notice and you can't adequately test them.

To be honest, there's a bug that makes the tab animations extremely sluggish and completely unusable without a high-end pc. I believe the UX test was to ensure everything else was working properly.

The previous implementation used mouse events, which removed the speed issue but at the sacrifice of os integration and breaking practically all tab add-ons.

Siggys waste bandwidth... that's why I have one.

Thanks for letting me know!

It would still be nice to be able to test Aurora at least. I hope you can add it to the site in the near future.
