Whats your experience with running web browsers via cloud

Submitted by Shadohz on August 27, 2025 - 9:56pm

Originally I had PortableApp installed to my Google Drive account. Everything worked but it was sooo sluggish to launch PA applications and my PC seemed to take longer to idle down after a restart. The worse offending thing seemed to be running web browsers from cloud. Google Drive was constantly uploading temp files from the web browers (google/firefox/opera) as I used them. This not only slowed down my network but I constantly had to purge my GD trashcan of these files.

I have an Internet service which Speed tests to 0.58 mbps. It is slow, yes. PrortableApps downloads will fail on my computer. Its download code can't restart from a failure point. Thus there are problems of installing Apps and updating Apps.

How to connect the hosts.txt file to the program

Submitted by Natacha1956 on August 17, 2025 - 5:11am

Help me understand how to implement the function of adding my hosts.txt file to the c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file in PortableApps in such a way that before loading (a copy of the original hosts file was made to the hosts_backup file name), it was added hosts.txt to hosts, and after closing the program, the hosts file was deleted from hosts_backup and renamed to the original name? Just write where to write the names of the .cmd or .bat files that will be run, because I can't find information about this in your documentation. Thank you.

Portable Application

Submitted by sulejman on August 12, 2025 - 2:23pm

Portable applications are by far the best gift to the whole world of computer users, and I am deeply grateful for your efforts and existence. I would like to suggest that alongside LibreOffice and ApashOffice, separate applications be created for text, spreadsheets, and presentations, because I believe a large number of people use either one or the other. This would reduce PC RAM usage and speed up work with office applications. Sincere regards,

why not one ff version like other apps?

Submitted by UpdateInformer on July 22, 2025 - 1:45pm

not sure why you cant build one ff
i think other apps prompt directly lng selector
why so much work on ff?
hope you can shrink to one or
at least use ai to build
you would save much traffic and time
you said, if remember well, that its understanding issue for users but
i think all your apps prompt directly lng selector, like npp or
do i mix with other app?
hope it helps
thx
ps
bold letters to get you read it before you create 1000 builds
will change after response
