I have noted that running most extensions on Chrome Break the portability of Chrome as they write settings to appdata folder on the host machine, So the only real way is to have every host machine with the extensions installed on them. Which basically defeats the purpose of having them portable.

Be sure you are signed into Google Chrome and have it syncing everything to Google. Otherwise, you lose everything as you move PCs. This is detailed on the app homepage and the details that popup in the license as you install.
As for things writing locally, Chrome "apps" do that and are not portable but extensions should not.

extensions is not portable too and the last opened pages id not portable .
i have more thank 3 or 4 chrome portable with different tabs and data , so i have to link each one of them to a different google account
You must keep Google Chrome logged in to a single Google account in order to have your full set of extensions and settings work as you move machines. Google Chrome is purposely locked to a single PC. The code has built in features to prevent portability and prevent you backing up and moving your Chrome profile from one PC to another.
