PortableApps.com started to offer
a portable version of Google Chrome for Windows. Due to the licensing terms of Google Chrome, the site offers a small application that downloads Google Chrome's installer, extract its files and installs a portable launcher. Copy the resulting folder to a USB drive and you can launch Chrome on multiple computers without leaving traces.
A much better idea would be to run Chrome using "roaming" profiles and save your settings and data online. Hopefully,
Google Browser Sync will return in Google Chrome. There's already
an experimental feature that
synchronizes bookmarks with a Google account.

Does it really leave no registry keys?
ReplyDeleteMac version? When?
ReplyDeleteI'm not so much interested in synchronizing my bookmarks with Google (or anyone else), I'd rather my Bookmarks menu access them directly (like GMarks for Firefox).
ReplyDeleteWe purposefully don't use roaming profiles because we can save an extraordinarily large amount of data in the profile. This is also tricky for sync.
ReplyDeletelicensing prevents them from doing a normal portable app distribution?
ReplyDeleteguess i'm glad i use portable iron instead of chrome.
where the cookies stored?
ReplyDeleteon computer or UFD?
I think the cookies will be stored on the computer
ReplyDelete@kurt I don't really know much about licensing, but IMO the real reason they created an installer to handle the installation process is because they are planning to do more than just install chrome in the future. I don't think it's a simple matter of Google saying "users are of your site are too stupid to install this thing on their own, they need your help" :-)
ReplyDeleteportable google was so useful for me,cause my brother always looking at the history of my site that i login,,,
ReplyDeleteso i never want to happen it again so i download a
portable something and i store it to my usb disk
