A portable application can be run from a removable drive (USB flash drive, iPod, portable hard drive, etc) on any Windows computer without installation.
You will carry the program with settings on removable drive and don't modify settings on host computer.
On Vista and above turn off User Account Control (UAC) or run launcher as admin.

As you can see, Google changed Omaha installer system.
Therefore clients2.google.com/service/... URLs can't redirect last version. (Only working for canary version)
I'm still very trying to find new URL pattern.
As soon as I detected it, I will write to here.
Best Regards.
@Bernat:
I was write a comment with my other account (ilkertezcan):
http://googlechromereleases.blogspot.com/2013/11/stable-channel-update_14.html?showComment=1384929573891#c4428492777172776459
So, new links (no redirecting): http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=qFvCpvWd
Unfortunately I'd very trying, many resources reading, testings. But whatever I can't resolve redirecting. :(
I hope, it's possible specific string reading from XML in NSIS.
Need reading "codebase" string in the XML URL.
Many thanks for links!
Installer updated with sources.
Wow Bernat! Again you've succeeded!
You're welcome. I enjoyed helping you. And this new installer will be useful for all. Very thanks.
Greetings from istanbul.
Merci, Bernat!
I use your Java, Flash, and Chrome; so I put Iron into \IronPortable.
I put flash into:
\App\Iron\Plugins
But it can't use Java like Chrome. In version 30 (from your site) I can put java into:
\App\Iron\Plugins
and the msvcrt100.dll into:
\App\Iron\
And it works on Java test page, but not with 31. Any idea?
Regards,
~Al
No reason to change default folder name: ChromePortable.
Java works without msvcrt100.dll but with paths:
ChromePortable\App\Iron\
ChromePortable\IronPortable.exe
CommonFiles\Java\bin\plugin2\npjp2.dll
Hola, (Portable Iron) no puedo reproducir nada me solicita el complemento de Adobe Flash Player y ya lo tengo instalado, como se podria solucionar eso, gracias.
Install Iron in default folder (X:\PortableApps\ChromePortable\) and install Flash Plugin in default folder (X:\PortableApps\)
(Iron Portable) Gracias de todas formas pero no puedo instalar me dice que no esta instalado no esta muy claro las carpetas el orden, gracias igual.
Check if you have:
X:\PortableApps\ChromePortable\IronPortable.exe
and
X:\PortableApps\CommonFiles\Plugins\NPSWF32.dll
OK funciono, muchas gracias Bernat, muy amable como siempre respondiendo nuestras dudas y preguntas. Gracias.
Hi Bernat, can we just download the srware_iron/chrome directly and then use your installer to create the portable like it used to be?
Downloading from your installer is just way to slow from Indonesia. Just so you know.
Gracias!
Yet done.
Just run installer in same folder as srware_iron.exe.
This Portable SRWare Iron 33.0.1800.0 (and previous 32.0.1750.1 version) creates and leaves two registry keys behind after first run:
----------------------------------
Keys added:2
----------------------------------
HKU\...\Software\Chromium
HKU\...\Software\Chromium\BrowserCrashDumpAttempts
Fixed.
Thanks!
Problem with your Windows localization.
Try english installer (multilingual program).
Thanks. This one is ok.
Strange thing with this Windows localization - all other installers form this site works fine. My windows is in Polish language.
Polish was missing and Arabic in first line in place of English.
Installer updated.
Thanks for your work. Love your site!
Bernat,
Would you please consider to make the 64-bit Chrome into portable version?
http://blog.chromium.org/2014/06/try-out-new-64-bit-windows-canary-and.html
Thanks for your work.
Offline installer link needed.
I hope pureocean will found it.
Hey i want to use chrome on my ramdisk partition, i don't want to save cache on %temp%. How to do this?
Edit ChromePortable.ini with:
TempCache=false
When I set Google chrome portable as default browser, following link is used to use as default brower.
D:\PortableApps\ChromePortable\App\Chrome\chrome.exe --profile-directory=Default
D:\PortableApps\ChromePortable\App\Chrome
It's very curious why this happens, and it's more work for me because I have to set up my bookmarks and extensions, as well as some other customized options.
Is there any way to resolve this?
Don't set Chrome itself to be default browser otherwise launcher is no more used and it is no more portable.
Try to link to launcher ChromePortable.exe by editing link with:
D:\PortableApps\ChromePortable\ChromePortable.exe
D:\PortableApps\ChromePortable
I am using portable chrome as well as many other portable apps on my desktop instead of standard installation apps.
it's just better that way.
it's lighter, faster,
and everytime I format the computer,
portable apps are still there.
it saves a lot of time.
I have downloaded Chromium Portable 64 bit (0.6MB) but where am I supposed to install it please?
The Chromium link is not working for me. I can download the file but when I try to start the installation, I get a 404 error (file not found).
64 bit versions of Chrome have moved from the Dev and Canary channels to Beta. It would be great if we could get links to 64 bit versions of Chrome. Probably won't be too long before the 64 bit release version is available.
Thank you!
No problem with Chromium.
Bernat,
I'm none the wiser after reading Support.When I browse to & try to install Chromium Portable in chrome-win32 folder I get the following message.
http://postimg.org/image/sfb0lemkz/
Am I supposed to create subfolders & or something else?
This is not a problem of folder but download links of installers are no more available.
Chromium_Portable_38.0.2105.0_64-bit_Multilingual.exe
Chromium online installer working again.
Actual version is 38.0.2106.0 (285808)
The 32 bit version of Chromium works but not the 64 bit version. Checking the 64 bit box and trying to install results in a 404 file not found error.
So, only the 32 bit Chromium online installer is working.
Thank you!
64 bit online also is working.
Retry.
Okay, thank you! I tried again and 64 bit online worked but only with 32 bit also checked.
When I unchecked 32 bit, leaving only 64 bit checked, I got the 404 error every time.
I guess the installer doesn't work unless both 32 and 64 bit boxes are checked. No big deal.
Fixed.
Probably a little bug:
Starting with Chrome/Chromium version 38, both apps are leaving some empty folders in %LOCALAPPDATA%
Chrome:
C:\Users\Usuario\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\SwiftShader
Chromium:
C:\Users\Usuario\AppData\Local\Chromium\User Data
Chrome 36 (stable) and 37 (beta) are not affected yet.
Sources in Other.
You are free to edit and recompile NSIS scripts.
Thanks, Bernat.
Your chrome portable is OK.
I tested non-portable Chrome Dev and found the same bug (also was leaving some files outside non-default profile location), so I reported this to Chrome developers:
Issue 399993: SwiftShader component is installed in %LOCALAPPDATA% instead of specified user-data-dir
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=399993
Any chance of getting a portable version of 64-bit Chrome?
The 64-bit version of Chrome has been released to the stable channel.
Thanks!
Just provide me the request link such as
http://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx?response=redirect&x=id%3D{8A69D345-D564-463C-AFF1-A69D9E530F96}%26uc
that return xml infos for stable 32 bit
Bernat - THANKS!
That 64-bit link for Chrome portable worked PERFECTLY! Installed as a portable app without a hitch.
Thank you so much!
Thank you Bernat, the 64-bit Portable Chrome works perfectly.
Excuse me dear bernat but the file "Chrome_Portable_Multiversion_Online_Multilingual.exe" Norton AV continuously detects as : Troian.Gen.SMH.2 and quarantines or deletes,I would have the need to update Chrome Dev + Stable to the latest version, but unfortunately I'm stuck yet to 40.0.2214.6, kindly you can help me?
Tested without virus with Kaspersky.
Uploaded again on MediaFire.
I can't do more.
When I try download 40.0.2214.91 x86, I can download only 39.0.2171.99. x64 - ok. Please, do something.
Thank you for your work =) You are the best.
Previous 32-bit installer is now working again.
Links given by pureocean now are giving up-to-date download links:
http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=qFvCpvWd
I prefer previous installer because I like to test the Canary version.
Chrome and other Chrome browsers don't come with Flash anymore. Could you update your Flash installer and make Pepper Flash plugin an installer too.
Chrome has always PepperFlash
Fresh install of Chromium x64 http://ultraimg.com/images/2015-02-07_19-17-48.png
Probably like that with Iron since it's based on Chromium.
http://ultraimg.com/images/ChromiumFlash.png
Well I don't know what to say then. Fresh copy of Chromium x64, fresh copies of Shockwave Flash plugins and the browser won't recognize them.
mediocrenoob:
now you need to got to chrome:flags & Enable Enable NPAPI for flash to appear in chrome:plugins.
Bernat:I'm using PortableChromium x64 Version 42.0.2296.0 (64-bit)
Here's images of what I see under flags & plugins:

https://i.imgur.com/ZjBJK1G.png
Thanks Buck Ofama.
Enable NPAPI was not in previous 42 Chromium x64 but now need to be activated to see Flash and Java.
After enabling, don't click Restart Now but close and restart by launcher.
Buck Ofama: I deleted my previous message while you were posting.
NPAPI deprecation
Thanks,Bernat.I'm aware of that,From Sept. '15 no NPAPI support.
Thanks Buck Ofama, that was the problem.
No problem.Thought it would be.Glad it's sorted.
You can use pepperflash from chrome with portable chromium, "ChrOpera", Vivaldi and Iron.
Just copy pepperflash folder from a chrome portable installation and edit [appname].ini like this:
http://i.imgur.com/tw1mhgc.png?1
or launch [appname]portable.exe with command lines pointing to pepperflash location:
--ppapi-flash-path="E:\[fullpath_to_pepperflash]\PepperFlash\pepflashplayer.dll" --ppapi-flash-version=16.0.0.305
Added Pepper Flash Plugins with updated launchers.
HI! I Keep Getting SendRequest Error Messages When Installing The 64Bit Version Of Google Chrome DEV Build Portable, MIGHT I ASK How Do I Correct This Error And Solve This Problem ?
Tested working entering:

Hello everyone,
I've noticed that my portable version of Chrome is no longer portable. My last version was 35.0.1916.153
Now I wanted to update so I ran "ChromePortableInstaller-online". Since yesterday I tried to work with version 37,39,41,42 but none those versions seems to be working - what I mean - after that I have no personal settings or extensions kept. The same situation appears when I try to run it from other computer. Any idea what this means?
" I ran "ChromePortableInstaller-online"... I tried to work with version 37,39,41,42"
This is Chrome_Portable_MultiVersion_32-64-bit_Multilingual_Online and you can download only 41, 42 or 43.
Settings are created and kept in Data\Chrome.
Thank you for pointing at the "Data folder". I have had clean "portable installation" zipped from the past. So my experiment took a while and finally it works now. What I had to do was start from the beginning from the version 37 (where the "Multiple Sign-in Access" was introduced), and then install all extensions again, synchronize bookmarks and then update with version 41. All works now. thanks
Same problem of calibre: i have download your chromeportableonline.exe, file setup from
http://redirector.gvt1.com/edgedl/release2/ego5dbos8ki6s2a1pazsets6coe6fhg0irwm7x88awpnve13mlec4zti0cq6rsmokujd9dgj0ylichipug6ifh5e53sd3y1w0lv/48.0.2564.103_chrome_installer_win64.exe
but the installer required access to web!
Where I put my chrome installer .exe for run setup extractor?
Can't be done.
Ok. Is possible share only launchers file?
Open Chrome_Portable_MultiVersion_32-64-bit_Multilingual_Online.exe with 7-Zip and extract App folder and ChromePortable.exe in a ChromePortable folder.
Create a Chrome64 folder in App.
Open 48.0.2564.103_chrome_installer_win64.exe with 7-Zip and extract chrome.7z in a temp folder.
Open chrome.7z with 7-Zip and open Chrome-bin folder: extract chrome.exe in Chrome64.
Open 48.0.2564.103 folder (in Chrome-bin) and extract its content in Chrome64.
Finaly create a 0 byte file "First Run" (without extension) in Chrome64.
Thanks you very much! You are great!

Thanks for reporting bug.
Installer updated (download URL changed).
Great stuff,thanks Bernat.
Just noticed on Chromium_Portable_Latest... chrome.exe is 51.0.2683.0 & the MANIFEST File is 52.0.2735.0

Hi Bernat, I just drop by here to inform you that there's a new web browser out called Brave, Brave.com and it does not use Google ads etc, it's created by the same people that started Firefox. I hope you may help to make its portable version :) thanks a lot for all your releases all these years!!

Hi friends.... can someone help me to add the "Internet Download Manager" extension on this portable version of Chrome ?
Bonjour, je pense que ChromePass Portable n'est plus disponible depuis un bon moment, je sais telecharger l'exe mais a l'extraction il y a une erreur...
Effectivement, le lien de téléchargement de chromepass.zip a changé et ne fonctionne que depuis la page de NirSoft.
Installeur mis à jour en extracteur.
Merci pour le suivi impeccable Bernat, comme depuis toujours
Download Chrome_Portable_MultiVersion_32-64-bit_Multilingual_Online.exe was completed.
Execute that exe file.
Download 69.0.3497.92_chrome_install.exe was 100% completed.
After finishing everything, I moved to installed folder.
On directory, D:\ChromePortable\App\Chrome\
I found only 2 files. that was First Run & chrome.exe
That's all
I've tried more than 10 times.
What's the matter with this install problem?
Tested working.
You should have 24 files and 7 folders in Chrome folder.
Some files with size in bytes:
chrome_child.dll 66629976
chrome.dll 47795032
chrome.exe 1378648
Perhaps a problem of space on your drive (or copy speed).
Try to install on another drive.
Dear Bernat.
I changed chrome installation folder from ramdisk to USB stick drive.
Now every installation process was completed perfectly.
I really appreciate it.
chrome portable create folder into ...AppData\Local\Google\Software Reporter Tool....
Not created in normal use.
mmm... i have this folder, (deleted and re-create it) otherwise i don't post here!
yes sorry! my error!
Hi my friend
I live problems in vivaldi and chromium portable versions
For this site
I no hear sound but it work to installable edge and firefox and opera Some times it works(I hear) sometimes does not work
http://www.haber7.com/medya/haber/2792873-trt-1-dirilis-ertugrul-130bolum-fragmani-planlari-altust-eden-olum
also I have similar problem on busuu
Sound tested with your link on Vivaldi and Chromium portables.
Problem is with your computer.
Hi Bernat
Would you reorganize the executable file(such as ChromiumPortable.exe) for Chrome or other browsers?
I set ChromiumPortable.exe as Default Web Browser however ChromiumPortable.exe gives warning when multiple tabs open.
Therefore could you redesign the codes of file (such as ChromiumPortable.exe )
Try
AllowMultipleInstances=true
in ChromiumPortable.ini
I Tried but not working
works when first open browser after when I clicked to html file was not opened in browser window
https://www.winhelponline.com/blog/register-firefox-portable-with-default-programs-in-vista/
I used this it made for firefox but working
I Tried again in a few minute ago
AllowMultipleInstances=true
in ChromiumPortable.ini
But it is same results. However I Fixed it by downloading GoogleChromePortable.exe from portableapps
GoogleChromePortable.exe size is larger s than ChromiumPortable.exe
it is 374 kb
Also qtranslate's copy text module isn't working it when run ChromiumPortable.exe
I tried
ProfileDirectory=Data\Chromium
in
GoogleChromePortable.ini
works it
I used this
https://portableapps.com/apps/internet/google-chrome-portable-dev
Bonsoir,
j'utilise ChromePortable sur un même pc avec deux systèmes 64 : WIndows7 et windows10
A chaque fois que je lance chrome portable sur un OS différent, il perd le compte associé, les extensions .... idem pour SlimjetPortable ....
Merci d'avance pour votre aide
Les extensions sont dans:
ChromePortable\Data\Chrome\Default\Extensions
et
SlimjetPortable\Data\Slimjet\Default\Extensions
Merci Bernat mais ça ne marche pas ...
Sur mon PC j'ai deux disques système un en windows10 l'autre en windows7
Suivant le boot il changent de C en D
Je configure dans un systeme chrome avec mon compte google (synchro) qui réinstalle toutes les extensions. Si je reutilise chrome pas de pb je recupère chrome configuré avec un historique du cache ...
Par contre si je passe sur l'autre système, je perds toute la config de chrome et l'historique, il faut que je re-synchronise mon compte google et ensuite réinstallation des extensions etc ...
J'ai essayé avec un chrome installé sur les deux systèmes avec la commande "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --user-data-dir="d:\ChromeUserData" et "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --user-data-dir="c:\ChromeUserData" sur l'autre système, mais j'ai le même problème, au changement de système chrome ne se connecte pas avec mon compte et il faut refaire une synchro
Je ne sais pas si mon problème est "solutionnable", je suis entrain de migrer progressivement vers windows 10 et je voulais utiliser chrome sur chaque système en continu comme je peux le faire avec Firefox.
Merci de votre aide et pour vos app-portables qui me simplifient souvent la vie ...
Je pense que le problème vient de la connexion au compte google car chrome crypte les mots de passe en fonction du PC.
Hi Bernat,
I have tried to install Chromium Portable but the launcher do not works anymore.
Online installer says "Download of ChromiumSetup.exe: SendRequest Error"
I think that download links are changed (but not in Your online installer).
I ask You to add an option to Your online installer:
Possibility of insert number of desired build (for example 73.0.3683.75) so the installer:
1. creates 'ChromePortable' folder
2. creates a launcher for inserted build number
3. creates other requested folders without download binaries
so I can download my preferred portable binaries from the site
Woolyss Chromium at https://chromium.woolyss.com/ and unzip them inside of the empty folder with version number inserted inside Your online launcher.
Thanks advance.
Download tested working.
Sources in Other, you are free to modify and compile.
I have tried to install Chromium Portable (32 or 64 bit or both; any type of build) but something block my installation.
Do You can prepare for me an installed copy of Chromium ?
Thanks very much advance.
You can do it yourself with 7-Zip:
Open Chromium_Portable_dev-stable_32-64-bit_Multilingual_Online.exe with 7-Zip and extract App folder and ChromiumPortable.exe in a folder.
Download Installer of your choice: for instance chromium-sync.exe for v74.0.3689.0 64 bit.
Open chromium-sync.exe with 7-Zip and extract chrome.7z
Open chrome.7z with 7-Zip and extract the content of Chrome-bin\74.0.3689.0 in a Chromium64 folder that you have to create in App
You have also to extract chrome.exe and chrome_proxy.exe from Chrome-bin folder to Chromium64 folder.
Then run ChromiumPortable.exe
for 32 bit extract in a Chromium folder
HI!
Is there any easy way to update portable Google Chrome without resetting all settings to default?
Thanks in advance ))
Updating don't reset settings to default.
So... I just need to download the newer version and install it into the same directory?
Yes, your settings are stored in ChromePortable\Data\Chrome
I cann’t downloade most of apps from this blog, what happens? I don’t know.
when I install this program, this messages appears:

2-https://www5.0zz0.com/2019/09/22/02/139723670.jpg
What can I do?
Please, I need help, I love this blog and most of my apps from here.
You had a download problem when running online installer.
Retry or download srware_iron.exe (or srware_iron64.exe) in same folder of online installer and run it again.
Hi Bernat,
Could it be that the Chromium installer is failing again?

Thanks!

Yes, it works from ini file! Thank you!
Hello!
Every time I use portable Chrome on a different PC or even the same PC and a different OS, my Google account saved to ChromePortable is gone as well as some of the settings. On my PC I use 2 versions of Win10 installed on 2 different SSDs. Is there any way to change this behavior so that my Google account won't go away from my Portable Chrome?
No.
So even when I will return to the PC/OS I already used earlier, my Google account data will be cleared again, right?
It will cleared if you entered password in previous computer. On chromium based browsers, passwords are encrypted with a key depending of the computer and stored in a file (without extension)"Login Data" stored in Data\Chrome\Default.
You can try to backup-restore this file for each computer but not sure it will work.
Sorry, no more solution than having a ChromePortable folder for each computer or entering password after a computer change.
Hi Bernat, the installer for SRWare Iron doesn't seem to be working properly. It appears to download ok but then nothing happens, it's not unpacking the files. App/Iron64 folder is empty. All I see is App\DefaultData\Iron\Default containing Book marks and Preferences. I don't think it's my system blocking anything as GoogleChrome and Slimjet install fine. Could you check it out please?
Thanks for reporting bug: installer updated.
i have download full chrome offline installer, rename on 96.0.4664.45_chrome_installer.exe
put on same folder with Chrome_Portable_MultiVersion_32-64-bit_Multilingual_Online.exe but it does not work properly ...
Chrome online installer is not setup extractor.
in your other releases this is possible... so you can not install with full offline setup?
maybe with a little modification to Chrome online installer this may be possible.
No, sorry.
with little search to offline chrome installer, we found this link https://www.google.com/chrome/?system=true&standalone=1&platform=win64 and download ChromeStandaloneSetup64.exe. but this file can't extract with 7z. your Chrome online installer instead download file 96.xxxxx_chrome_installer.exe and this file can extract with 7z. we have direct link to found (manually) stable version of xxx_chrome_installer.exe?
http://edgedl.me.gvt1.com/edgedl/release2/chrome/l2exfz33mhmyca47qpghhtyytq_96.0.4664.45/96.0.4664.45_chrome_installer.exe
yes i have found this link (little different https://www.google.com/dl/release2/chrome/l2exfz.....) from your file SnifLink.xml on temp folder, but this is relative to this latest release. i need generic link. when run Chrome online installer this tool check latest version (stable, beta, dev) but which link does he check to find latest rel available?
There is no generic link.
Chrome Canary cannot be downloaded. Could you fix this issue?
Can't be fixed, sorry.
Fixed.
Hi Bernat,
I tried to download Google Chrome version 110.0.5481.100 32-64 bit Multilingual, but it gives me the following error:
"Download of SnifLink.xml: SendRequest Error"
Can you fix it?
TIA
Tested working.
Nothing to fix.
Hello, love your work very much
But you never mentioned that the new release of SRWare Iron is for windows 10 & 11 only
I still use 7, now, how can I rollback to release 109.0.5550.0
Thanks
Download the version of your choice in same folder than portable installer (it is also setup extractor).
Hello Bernat,
I've to report a strange behaviour of the Chromium loader.
When I open it Chromium loads opening three tabs:
http://portableapps/
http://browsers/Chromium
http://portablez/Data/Chromium
These seem to be originating from the path where the loader is:
in my case "P:\~ PortableApps ~\Internet Browsers\Chromium Portablez\ChromiumPortable.exe"
If I add AdditionalParameters=--app=http://portableappz.blogspot.com to "ChromiumPortable.ini" I get only one tab but cannot browse other sites.
Another annoying behaviour is that if I create a junction "C:\PortableApps" targetting "P:\~ PortableApps ~" the loader flashes without opening Chromium
As it happened to me with other portables might it be related to the working directory reference ?
The Chrome loader works fine (as all of others loaders of yours), up to now I've seen this behaviour only with the Chromium one.
Thanks for your Portables which are really useful !
Normal behavior if you use strange characters (~) in your paths.
In command line ~ means something.
You are right the example of AdditionalParameters has no sense and is replaced by the list of chromium command line switches.
Thanks Bernat for your prompt reply.
I made further tests removing the tildes signs.
To reproduce the behaviour without any strange character I just put the two portables in "P:\PortableApps\Chrome Portablez" and "P:\PortableApps\Chromium Portablez". Then made a junction "O:\PortabeApps" with target "P:\PortableApps".
Opening Chrome from both paths works. Opening Chromium only works from the real path, not from the junction. There is another strange thing that should be related to path's spaces handling: an extra folder is created after running Chromium in the PortableApps folder. To better show you I took a snapshot of the screen and uploaded here: https://ibb.co/1QNjjG6
I just made another test: I named the Chromium folder "TestChromium" and the extra dir was not created. Then named the folder "Test Chromium" and an extra "Test" folder was generated. Just to be sure, I always deleted "Data" folder prior every test.
Nothing urgent but if you'll have the time to check this I would greatly appreciate :-)
Thanks and have a nice day,
V.
BTW do you have a dummy template of your portablez launcher to share ? I'd love to learn to portabilize other Apps that I use often. I created an AutoIt script for some programs made with Electron framework but those are easy as the don't involve any registry key, just AppData dirs junctions. I'd love to learn how to handle more complex cases.
Sorry I forgot to mention that I found another useful source for Chromium builds, both for x64 and x86 versions and Googled and DeGoogled ones: https://chromium.woolyss.com/
Cheers, V.
Old NSIS Template
Thanks !

In the folder C:Windows\SystemTemp every opening of ChromePortable.exe creates a folder chrome_BITS_, can I remove it?
Of course you can: it's an empty folder in the TEMP folder.
No, it's not empty
For me all chrome_BITS_* folders are empty but no matter: you can delete all the content of the TEMP folder.
No risk, only temporary files and folders and if they are in use you can't delete.
Hello @Bernat,
I love your launchers that allow to handle both x86 and x64 binaries and - most important - handle arguments being passed to the main exe either by dragging an url onto it or by script.
I've been using them for a very long time and I'm also using Chromium Ungoogled extensively but without your packaging because the official version (almost a year old now) is a "googled" one.
I just came back to your launcher (after dropping chrlauncher because doesn't handle drag & drop arguments at all) and I found a little bug that would be worth to be fixed.
To reproduce the issue is very easy. Just install the package to the default path "C:\PortableApps\ChromePortable" and add a space between Chrome and Portable. When you start the launcher a tab is opened with the url "http://portable/Data/Chromium". For every space in the path a separate tab is getting opened at each launch. So if you rename the main folder "Chromium Ungoogled Portable" you end up with two tabs: "http://ungoogled/" and "http://portable/Data/Chromium".
I've seen this behavior only on this particular launcher so far. It might be just a typo in the code I suppose.
When you have some spare time to have a look to this issue I'd also recommend to use the great chromium.woolyss.com repository for ungoogled Chromium sources. It would be great to have a choice between the two versions (both are on woolyss).
Thanks and have a great day
V.
Replace ChromiumPortable.exe.
Quote was missing in --user-data-dir="$EXEDIR\Data\${APP}"
If you added a space in path, the worst problem was not the tab added but the creation and use of a Chrome folder in PortableApps used in place of Data\Chromium
For chromium.woolyss.com I did but now installer can't found download link.
That's great @Bernat! I didn't mention the problem of wrong directory creation because I was sure it was a consequence of the syntax issue... Now it works correctly and I set both "Chromium Portablez" and "Chromium Ungoogled Portablez". Everything works like a charm, I'm very thankful for this fix !
I take advantage of this message to ask about ChromiumPortable.ini file and extensions:
I set AdditionalParameters=-homepage http://startpage.com and it works correctly
then tried to add an extension needed to simplify KeePass use (having the url in the titlebar to match passwords automatically). The extension is https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/url-in-title/ignpacbgnbnkaiooknalneoeladjnfgb.
So I added:
--install-system-extension "C:\PortableApps\Internet Browsers\Chromium Ungoogled Portablez\URL-in-title.crx" and then enabled chrome://flags/#extension-mime-request-handling with "Always prompt for install". It works but I have two questions:
- What is the syntax for the relative path in --install-system-extension parameter ?
- I could tweak the Local State config file to inject "enabled_labs_experiments":["extension-mime-request-handling@2"] so to avoid one extra step, but is there a way to auto-enable an extension (or even better a set of default extensions) without manual intervention ?
Again many thanks for the prompt fix !
Why not simply install extensions?
I opened https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/url-in-title/ignpacbgnbnkaiooknalneoeladjnfgb and clicked on Add to Chrome and now the extension is unpacked and used in Data\Chromium\Default\Extensions\ignpacbgnbnkaiooknalneoeladjnfgb
The reason is that I often create new folders for browser isolation purposes and keeping the same extensions every time is one of the way of browser fingerprinting.
I can get extensions automatically downloaded by script via the registry keys in HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Google\Chrome\Extensions but they're not activated any more in latest chromium releases.
I just found and tested this one https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/extensity/jjmflmamggggndanpgfnpelongoepncg which might be the way to override all the manual activation process. But I need to have it activated by default at first, at least this one.
Then I could script different extensions presets to be activated by a click. It would be a great improvement but will be a lot of work...
I was just wondering if you ever dig into this matter and have tips to share about it...
Sorry I don't care about browser fingerprinting.
Dear Bernat, never mind: it's not at all a major issue compared to all the maintenance work needed with continuous updates.
Nevertheless I was digging into my portables archive and found a very old launcher of yours. It was an old Chrome for XP (version 87) launcher where inside the App folder there is a "DefaultData" with "\Chrome\Default\Preferences" and "\Chrome\Default\Bookmarks" pointing to the PortableAppz website.
I'm trying to use it with the launcher you kindly sent me two days ago but I'm not sure if the feature is still available and usable for my need.
Do you think the feature might work again somehow ? I'd need just a default "DefaultData\Chromium\Default\Preferences" file and "DefaultData\Chromium\Local State" (for ungoogled experimental features).
Cheers,
V.
The content of DefaultData is no more used by ChromiumPortable.exe because Bookmarks and Preferences was overwritten on first launch.
You can copy what you want in Data\Chromium\Default before launching but your Preferences file must be overwritten.
Dear Bernat,
happy new year !
JFYI and for those who follow your brilliant work, I succeeded in auto-installing extensions in chrome/chromium. There are two requirements needed:
1) To install
In every "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Google\Chrome\Extensions\%chromeextid%" three entries are needed (the third is optional):
reg.exe add [...] /v "path" /t REG_SZ /d "https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/%chromeextid%"
reg.exe add [...] /v "update_url" /t REG_SZ /d "https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx"
reg.exe add [...] /v "name" /t REG_SZ /d "%chromeextname%"
2) To Enable
In every "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome\ExtensionInstallForcelist" one entry for each extension must be present. All entries indexed by consecutive numbers from 1 to ...:
reg.exe add [...] /v "%idx%" /t "REG_SZ" /d "%chromeextid%;https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx"
This latter point is often not well explained and that's why it took me so long to get it working.
Cheers,
V.
