Internet Apps Support

If this forum isn't used where do we go for things that have no forum/support? Google Chrome for instance is not a choice in App Specific or Internet forums. My Original reason to post, Google Chrome right now version 67.0.3396.87 says it is 42MB Download 154MB Installed, but I download using the PA Banner which takes me to Sourceforge, after downloading it says it is 1.6MB, why is that ? I expect the full 42MB.

I have a laptop with Windows 10 pro on which I use Google Chrome Portable from Portable Apps. It helps me keep my browser settings and bookmarks on a key-chain pen drive because I travel quite a bit and have to use other people's computers.

Here's the problem. When I start it up and check Task Manager, it shows Google Chrome right on top under Apps with the number of processes it is running. But below that it shows another entry under Background Processes which says Google Chrome Portable (32 bit).

How does one upgrade to the latest version from the the portable
when it was tried it asked to download from their site
thanks in advance for your help.

I'm trying to use the "Open Session in Putty" button in WinSCPPortable. I can configure update the configuration path in Options | Preferences | Integration | Applications | Putty/Telnet client path and it works as expected (I use KittyPortable ).

However, if I close WinSCP, reopen it, and click Open Session in Putty, it asks me to open PuttyPortable first. When I check the Options, it appears to reset.

is SeaMonkey 2.49.2 still safe to use
SeaMonkey 2.49.3 was put out may 4

I had a local (Programs) install of Chrome with desktop shortcuts.
To my three google profiles (work, leisure, community).
As I changed to Portable Chrome (still "local", i.e. C:), sync and such works.

But I can't figure out how to make a shortcut to start ChromeP with a specific profile (person).
(I have been searching here, and googling.)
ChromeP always starts with the same profile as was previously active.

i go to different sites for lab work and use filezila portable version on a usb, this morning used a brand new usb with fresh installation of portable version, was surprised that all my quick connect history was there when plugged into a public site PC. is there a way to erase that history on public PCs?

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.

hi

I installed google chrome portable on my Harddrive (D:) and I want my chrome cache to be created on drive "d" and not to be cleared on prgram exit.
I try all combinations of "CacheInTemp" & "RunLocally" in "GoogleChromePortable.ini" and still portableapp will clear cache on exit

can anyone help me please?

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.
