She Told Me

Google Chrome - new promising browser - was officially released just 10 days ago, and people are already making the portable versions of it for installation-free testing. None of the portable releases are authorized by Google, and not all of them are indeed purely portable to the full extent with no records introduced to the files and registry structure. But, definitely, all these efforts will assist in the browser evaluation.

In this publication, I am going to present two different releases for the Google Chrome Portable, with different ways to solve the portability arrangements.

The alternative portable version of Chrome has been compiled by Carsten Knobloch, and it is called Chromium. All you have to do is unpack the compressed executable file and run it. All program settings are saved in "Chrome" folder while user settings go in "Profile" folder.
The main features of Chromium:

  • One box for everything
  • New Tab page
  • Application shortcuts
  • Dynamic tabs
  • Crash control
  • Incognito mode
  • Safe browsing
  • Instant bookmarks
  • Importing settings
  • Simpler downloads

Another attempt to make the browser portable was performed by Plasmid. This one is not entirely portable to a full extent. Yes, it is a single executable, and can run from USB stick or any other external media. But, the default cache and user settings path is still accessed by the program (usually root:’documents and settings’YOUR_USERNAME’local settings’application data’google’ … ). Anyway, in most cases, it is not a problem and the advantage of this release in its smaller size than Chromium.
