Hi,
I'm trying to run Google Chrome Portable on a restricted W$ PC and I am not allowed to change Portable Chrome proxy settings (restricted by administrator). Portable but not usable ???
Any tip ?
Thanks.

Google Chrome uses the local proxy settings. If you are unable to alter those, you are stuck using them with Google Chrome. There is no workaround with Chrome. You can use either Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition or Opera, both of which will allow you to specify your proxy settings to your liking.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Well that sort of reduces the interest of getting a portable app...
Thanks anyway.
It's a "feature" of Google Chrome itself, has nothing to do with the portable version. The portable version doesn't alter any source code or modify features of the installed version, it just inherits all those features (good and bad). It just seems like Google Chrome is not the browser for you (in any form, portable or not) because of your special circumstances.
we have to realize that chrome is a building site, it is far away from any finished product.
Only basic browser functions seem to be included and all other rest of not so often used parts is depending on operating system parts, that means IE in this context.
The same is with the crypto part, chrome does not contain any crypto functions so far, I think they will build hat sometimes in future. So for the moment it uses windows crypto functions, stores keys at the same place like IE does etc.
So if someone needs finished product, he needs to take something else then some development sample of something.

In my opinion, it increases it - you go to a place with a required proxy and you need to configure Firefox, whereas Chrome will work immediately.
