Merge multiple chrome portable installations into one

Submitted by goesprotocall on May 7, 2018 - 8:08am

I have a separate installation for office, home and a backup on the usb stick that I use in other computers when necessary. As time goes by the various copies are getting increasingly different as the contents of the history database are going in very different tracks. I've decided to merge them into one ultimately. How do I do it?

The Chrome sync functionality doesn't seem to properly merge all history records and I believe many would have the same annoyance.

Is 'Private Browsing' now redundant?

Submitted by JonBoy on March 27, 2018 - 5:57am

Does 'Private Browsing by PortableApps.com' still fulfill its purpose or should it now be re-positioned or officially retired?

In 4.1 the built-in extensions are now deactivated and I wonder if, overall, users trying the app believing it provides "a more-advanced private browsing feature" are being encouraged to have expectations that are simply not being met.

Perhaps it still has value but it's not clear to me from the description and the current configuration where that value lies - though I'd be happy to be enlightened.

Curious about Chrome 64 bit

Submitted by Jaladhjin on March 13, 2018 - 12:37pm

So I'm pretty confident my last install of Portable Chrome was via: https://downloads.sourceforge.net/portableapps/GoogleChromePortable64_64...

I did not have & do not want the traditional Portable Chrome installed alongside it..

I went to check the About just to ensure it was 64 bit after using it for awhile & noticed it's showing 32 bit..

Does the PA installer/updater overwite the 64 bit build with 32 bit if I ever let it update?

Google Chrome Certificates

Submitted by user 9008 on March 3, 2018 - 5:01pm

hi
my question about google chrome
I understand that firefox leaves nothing behind
but in chrome the certificates are not portable
so chrome stores certificates locally. meaning chrome saves them in the device I am using right ?

like my browsing history ? or the sites i have visited?
please help
thx

how to delete them ?
( Clear browsing data ) delete them ?

OperaMail - can't open through the PA interface

Submitted by BillBliss on February 28, 2018 - 8:39am

When I go to the PortableApps interface and click on Opera Mail I get a message saying: Cannot find "d:\PortableApps\PortableApps.com\operamail.dll" - and, of course, Opera Mail won't open. If I navigate to the OperaMailPortable directory, and doubleclick the OperaMaiPortable.exe directly, it works fine.

How do I get this to launch normally?

Thanks in advance!

Increase Cache Size of Opera Portable

Submitted by JT83 on February 23, 2018 - 4:16pm

If I'm not mistaken, the older or previous versions of Opera (I don't remember which one, but it's quite old, maybe in 30 or 40 branch) did not seem to limit the cache. I remember my cache folder had over 500MB in size once. The problem is the new Opera seems to limit the cache size to around 250-260MB. I am accessing my online album for photography very often and I like to keep everything cached for faster and shorter loading/access time, especially when I travel and have to use slow connection at the place I visit.
