Hi. When I have set the Installed-Chrome to use proxy, Google Chrome Portable have the same proxy setting with the Installed-Chrome. This problem occur bi-directly.

Google Chrome uses the system proxy. It has no GUI option to use an independent one whether installed or local. you need to use a command line option passed to chrome.exe for local or GoogleChromePortable.exe for portable. you can also copy the GoogleChromePortable.ini file next to the GCP.exe and add the commane line option to the AdditionalParameters= line. I don't recall the syntax offhand (on my phone) but a google search should help.
UPDATE: The command line option is: --proxy-server=:
Or for a SOCK5 proxy, I think it's: --proxy-server="socks5://localhost:1080"

First of all, thank you. This solution is really working. (And I found a website about Chrome command line switches ^^).
However, I found that the command only works when there is no other instance. So what can I do?

That's also by design and the only way Chrome works. Chrome is designed to run as a single instance.

Can chrome.exe be treated as an new instance?
like the install-chrome and portable chrome?

Chrome is only meant to run as a single instance at a time. This is by design. Remember, Chrome isn't as stand-alone as Firefox is.

So, thank you for all. Let close it.
