How to install several separate versions of Chrome Portable - NOT "update"

Submitted by Asteriz on September 1, 2020 - 11:06pm

I forgot what it actually does and whether there is some way to control that latter in the install process but the first prompt upon running say GoogleChromePortable_68.0.3440.84_online.paf.exe is downright scary. I don't want to run any risk of the thing even thinking about "updating" anything - ever. I just want it to park all it's bits into whatever folder I give it - no less and no more.

Is there a command line switch or something?

How to get Chrome to remember passwords

Submitted by nocternalvibe on July 30, 2020 - 7:06am

I have Chrome on a thumb-drive with multiple profiles and I would like to save the Usernames and Passwords within Chrome Portable. Any computer I put the thumb-drive into and launch Chrome always saves the Username and Password to the computer. I did follow the instructions on how to change the ini file to save passwords in Chrome but it does not work. Any ideas?

chrome not showing previous profiles, tabs and windows anymore after crash

Submitted by LidVan on July 27, 2020 - 11:49am

I'm using 14 different profiles in Chrome Portable, each profile has a few windows and several tabs.
Setting "continu were you left off" is on .
I had to hard reset my pc and now when I start Chrome portable, only my main default profile starts without the tabs and windows that should be there. Worse when I try to open another profile from the "other people" list none are there anymore.

Until recently, there was always a portable version of waterfox on the waterfox download page. It was real paf, with portable apps logo etc.
Since certainly week or longer, this version seems not to exist any more, the download button gives 404.
Is there anything known about waterfox portable here?

I have Opera on my usb and on my desktop, and I was going to try a game called Pups and Prejudice, and the landing page for that website says it can't work in Chrome and to try other browsers, which it lists Opera and Firefox as alternatives.
Any idea is this is a Unity problem or if the P&P game coding is the problem?

GoogleChromePortable.exe stays resident after Chrome is closed, preventing updates

The title says it all. I think it happens every time I run Chrome Portable.

Below is GoogleChromePortable.ini:

; You can copy this file to GoogleChromePortable\ and change settings in it.
