Please permit me to make note that it is well known that "Google" is the greatest antithesis to privacy in the world today.
One of the main ideals of PortableApps is to protect user privacy, so it seems to be very bad news that this new browser has been added to the list of applications.
Anyone who is truly concerned about not being tracked and recorded should not use this or any Google program.

You're right. We had some discussion going on about that when Chrome hit the forums... Is this truly open source or not and that kind of stuff.

Thats the main reason why I don't let my Firefox go to a google page on startup Smiling

Until John fixes this, SRWare Iron for USB sticks is still open.

Which is what I'm using right now.
@John: The Facebook logo over there could be a bit better.
[Edit] Oh my gosh... Iron even has adblock...
