Google Chrome Portable process behavior

Submitted by aiocr on May 11, 2021 - 8:49pm

As advised by @John T. Haller i'm posting this here on the forums.

When using Google Chrome Portable - https://portableapps.com/apps/internet/google_chrome_portable - If you have any another instances of Chrome open (e.g Chromium, Chrome dev/beta, etc) the "Google Chrome Portable" process remains in the background. Only after all these are closed, the process in gone.
Is there something that can be done about this?

[solved] Link from PA platform to website

Hi John,

I keep being tempted clicking the PortableApps.com logo and text on the lower left of the platform window when I want to go to the website.

Only to find it is not active or linked. What a waste of screen real estate!

Of course I have other means with Help - Support if I feel too lazy to just type it into my browser.

Maybe something to consider for a quiet hour.

Thanks!
