Chrome update unworkable

Submitted by Trist on August 6, 2018 - 7:16pm

I had Chrome portable all set up and working beautifully on my thumb drive, with all extensions functioning optimally.

Then yesterday when it opened it said an update was available. I didn't see any harm in updating it since I had installed it only two weeks ago. However the result was disastrous. It basically stopped working for me; namely, pages took FOREVER to load.

Chrome portable looses all "extensions" when started on another machine - how to clean up diskspace

"Chrome Portable" looses all "extensions" when started on another machine.

A PITA really.

And if I just accepted that, and reinstalled all my extensions that I need again and again ...
... I suppose that also wastes a lot of disk space, right?
Because the extensions disappear from the browser, but probably not from the disk, right?

So:

How to clean up the extensions diskspace when ChromePortable has f**ked up, and lost all its extensions, just because I plugged in the USB stick into another computer?

Thanks a lot!

Maintain Google login while using Chrome via USB on different computers

Submitted by caspian915 on July 31, 2018 - 3:42pm

Is there any way to maintain my Google login (among others) on Chrome while using it on different computers? I use Chrome portable via a USB drive because I regularly have to switch workstations over the course of my day at my job. I use Chrome portable so I do not have an instance of Chrome with my personal info on every computer. However, each time I open it on a different computer, I have to login to Chrome and to a few other extensions (notably, LastPass) each time.

Chrome acting up after Win10 update

Hello everyone,

just ran into a "little snag"- probably just something stupid.

I have 4 separate portable Chrome profiles, in different folders, for different purposes (keeping the amount of add ons to a minimum). They have been working for years side by side. I just updated them once a year to he latest version.

After the latest Win10 upgrade they stopped working. When I try to open any of them, nothing at all happens.
