Portability to maintain a half dozen "cloud" logins in the browser?

Submitted by AnthonyB on June 14, 2021 - 5:28pm

I am moving a lot between home and the office and I would love to leverage Portable Chrome to be logged in to my work e-mail, calendar, chat service, and a few other sites with my work account, and then just move that USB stick to a different computer, open up my Portable Chrome, and still be logged in and have it automatically go to the exact pages I was at when I left the office.

Google Chrome vers 91.0.4472.101 -- SAVE AS fails.

Submitted by mavc on June 13, 2021 - 8:56pm

I just did a full update to Portable Chrome. As soon as I opened it I noticed a distinct slowness but that is not my complaint. What is my complaint is that when I try to save a page either by Ctrl+S or by right-clicking Save as... it totally FAILS to popup a save dialog. It also does not matter what the page is, this is a universal failure.

Chrome Caused Security Alert by Employer, Cuz Writing to C: Drive. How to fix?

Submitted by johnywhy on May 27, 2021 - 1:56pm

I'm running Chrome Portable off external flash drive D:

It got my work computer tagged as "compromised", because it's writing to the C: drive

C:\Users\myUserName\AppData\Local\Temp\GoogleChromePortable

How to change this location?

Putting the disk-cache-dir flag into my launcher doesn't fix this behavior:

D:\Apps\GoogleChromePortable64\GoogleChromePortable.exe --disk-cache-dir=D:\Apps\GoogleChromePortable64\Cache

The message says "The downloaded copy of Google Chrome (64-bit Test) is not valid & can not be installed. This could be due to an incomplete download or other network issue. Please try running the updater again when complete."

Having Chrome 64 and Chrome Not Merged at Task Bar

Submitted by Drazick on April 3, 2021 - 7:13am

I have both Google Chrome and Google Chrome 64 installed.
Having different 64 Bit version allows running them in parallel for 2 different profiles which is important feature.

An interesting thing is that on one computer the 2 icons are not merged on the Windows 10 Taskbar:
