Run Chrome/Iron Portable with "--no-referrers" from the PortableApps Platform?

The easy way to do it in Windows is to make a shortcut, add argument. Or make a batch file. But neither the shortcut nor the batch will not run from the PortableApps Platform.

Any workaround?

A little manual work needed,

but it isn't that hard.

I'll use Iron as an example, but Chrome requires one less step.

1. Go into IronPortable\Other\Source and copy the AppNamePortable.ini (in Chrome it is called GoogleChromePortable.ini).

2. Copy this file to the IronPortable directory so it is beside IronPortable.exe.

3. Rename the file to IronPortable.ini (not required for Chrome as it is already named the right way).

4. Open the file in a text editor, and add whatever you need to the AdditionalParameters= line.

So it will

So it will be
AdditionalParameters=--no-referrers
or
AdditionalParameters= --no-referrers
with a space?

Wasn't hard, really. I guess it's without the space, but that's just a guess.
Is there an easy way to test if "--no-referrers" really work?

Okay. I tried this with Chrome. Let's say I want to start Chrome Portable in incognito mode. It is simply a line in Iron.ini, Incognito=true. But it does not do the trick in Chrome.

How to start Chrome portable in Iron?
