I need to continue running a browser with a working java plugin. Considering the the plugin is going away (http://www.theverge.com/2016/1/28/10858250/oracle-java-plugin-deprecatio...), will using the portable Chrome Browser allow me to continue using it 'forever'? (Does the portable browser auto-update itself?)

@ John T. Haller:

I am wanting to use the whole collection so I am wondering how big of a usb is needed? Also an 8 gig isn't big enough... Found that out the hard way after 48 hours of trying to get all the apps.

Google is dropping updates for Chrome on XP/Vista in April 2016, see

Will Portable Chrome continue to be available for XP/Vista after the April 2016 cutoff?

Hi guys,
Sorry to write only when there is a problem.
My USB stick that I use portable apps on to crazy so I formatted and did a fresh install.
The last one lasted 6 years over 3 usb sticks I use everyday as my primary everything.

I got all my browsers and other things to work fine except for seamonkey.
I removed the folder and reinstalled.
Now the seamonkey logo comes up but never the seamonkey.

Any ideas on what to do?

Thanks

The latest Maxthon ( 4.9.1.1000 ) was released a few days ago. Does anyone know when it will be available on Portableapps?

thank you

I have separately downloaded google chrome using the link given on this site.

When I go to install that through app interface - Add new app, and even browse to the downloaded package, it doesn't install,
it tries downloading the entire package again.
and when I abort download, it hangs, the installers gets stuck there and doesn't complete or close.
I have to close it manually.

Couldn't find any way to proceed.

please suggest what to do.

Thanks.

In your user account details, timing is shown wrongly.

Asia/ Dili is not +9:00, it should be +5:30.

And it is not really Dili, it should be "New Delhi"

This is the first time I have seen such a silly mistake in any site in my 20 years of internet life.

Please correct.

Thanks.

I downloaded and installed and used it today for the first time.

And I find it having a very non-intuitive IME which created difficutlies

After browsing through all apps available, I ticked some 20 that I wanted and let it download.

After it had downloaded some 5 apps, and was downloading Chrome, at 80% completion, my net got disconnected.

When I restarted net, it didn't resume downloading of the same 80% downloaded app.
it was downloading the next app, freefilesync, which got half downloded, and again net got disconnected.
