GoogleChromePortable.exe launches regular Google Chrome

Submitted by chris5 on January 27, 2023 - 11:59am

I have regular Google Chrome and Google Chrome Portable on my computer. I use Google Chrome Portable to run some applications where I need the version of Chrome not to change and I use regular Google Chrome for regular stuff like email, YouTube, web browsing etc. This setup has worked well for years but recently when I run Google Chrome Portable, regular Google Chrome comes up. However this phenomena only occurs if I have another regular Google Chrome already running in another window.

Does anyone know which Chrome settings are saved locally and which are saved online?

I created an account just to ask this, so please don't leave me hanging.

Can anyone tell me which Chrome settings are actually saved on my PC? Because I know that some of the settings are saved on my Google account instead, but I don't know which is which.

Open chrome with full profile in Python

Submitted by lapnhan on December 27, 2022 - 6:13am

I was able to open Chrome with full information (like cookies, history, ...) by right clicking and selecting "Open" GoogleChromePortable
I would like to ask if there is a way to open it automatically in Python using Selenium or Webdriver. Thanks a lot if you can help.
Hoping to get an answer soon.

Google Chrome Portable 64-bit Stable (Test) Extensions getting deactivated

Submitted by kensai on December 4, 2022 - 8:05am

Hi everybody,

maybe you can give some pointers to this problem:
I have Google Chrome Portable 64-bit Stable (Test) on a separate HDD, along with the rest of the PortableApps suite, and since about the last 3 updates, the extensions keep getting deactivated. They even don't show up in the list, it's like they were deleted or can't be accessed (they are still on the HDD, i checked).
I can reinstall them and they stay for the current session, but as soon as i close and restart the app, they are gone again.

Disable "To get future Google Chrome updates, you'll need Windows 10 or later"

How do we disable CONSTANT notifications that "To get future Google Chrome updates, you'll need Windows 10 or later. This computer is using Windows 8.1."

There are a million reasons why certain machines will *never* get updated from Windows 8.1.
The last version of Google Chrome without this nag is 107.0.5304.122.

Sadly, the solution does not appear to work on Portable Chrome, only full install Google Chrome.

Can this be incorporated into the Portable version of Google Chrome:

Google Chrome - Offline Installer

Submitted by OLLI_S on October 26, 2022 - 7:07am

Hello,

I am using Google Chrome Portable from PortableApps.com at work (the package without the PortableApps.com platform)
I can use Google Chrome Portable without any problems (open any website is possible).

in the past I was able to download the installer and update the current version manually.
Currently the installer of Google Chrome Portable 107.0.5304.63 (GoogleChromePortable_107.0.5304.63_online.paf.exe) can not download Google Chrome.
Here the output of the installer:

Google Chrome to drop support for Windows 7 / 8.1 in Feb 2023

Google Chrome likely to drop support for Windows 7 / 8.1 in Feb 2023

That's not all that far away. It would seem that we are heading into a situation that will heavily pressure people to abandon Windows 7. Personally I'm thinking I might move over to Linux. Struggling with the nightmare that is Windows 10 at my age seems not an attractive proposition.
