Windows only: You've seen its flashy features and were impressed with its speed, and now you wish you could put Google Chrome on your thumb drive and take it with you wherever you go? It's far from official, but German blogger Caschy has put together a portable version of Google Chrome you can run off your thumb drive. Just unzip the download to your thumb drive and run ChromeLoader.exe. All your Chrome settings and profile information now save to your thumb drive. This is a very early solution, and we'll be keeping our eyes out for a more streamlined version from the folks at PortableApps, but if you're dying to take Chrome with you, this Portable Chrome should do the trick.
New: DesktopSnowOK (Jan 6, 2025), Platform 29.5.3 (Jun 27, 2024)
1,100+ portable packages, 1.1 billion downloads

That would be without permission, which is a trademark violation. And it violates the EULA. That's why we don't have a release of it yet. We don't do illegal stuff.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

chrome.exe --user-data-dir="..\User Data\Your_Name" -first-run
Seems that parameters only works with chromium... I've tried with google chrome but it wont work...
I just thought it was very interesting (and good) that Lifehacker looks towards PA.com for the "good stuff". Thought it might be of interest to you, too.
I for one don't believe Google will give an ok for a PA version. I find it highly likely that they would modify it themselves.

do it themselves, but then they'll never get the "Original PortableApps.com Splash Screen"!
