However, scrolling down the to file name, it is listed as brave-v1.37.116-win32-ia32.zip. Sure enough, it is a portable version of the latest Brave release. The link to the developer on the page is Brave Software Inc
If Portapps.io does not have the latest version, you can manually update it by going to -browser/releases, selecting the appropriate Release version, downloading the correct archive (should be something like brave-version-win32-x64.zip) and then copying the version folder from that archive to your portable install.
Well I have decided to finally move up the ladder a rung or two. I bought a Windows 7 ThinkPad notebook. It's used of course and labeled to be in 'mint' condition. Late to the Win 7 party for sure but I was late for the Win XP party also ... didn't start using Win XP till 2012.
I have been having more problems over the last 2 years with web pages not opening or looking right or now being 'refused' entry to a web page being told my browser is 'too old' ... just clicking on a link to read a news story but I can't get there. Changing the user agent can only do so much and usually nothing at all.
I still intend to mostly use my ThinkPad T42 XP notebook since all the software programs I need and use are on that computer. I can still do banking and most everything else also. The newer ThinkPad will be a T520:
Once I get it all set up and secure to my liking I will probably do banking and other critical things on the T520. I don't intend to load it up with many software programs ... as I mentioned earlier, all the programs I currently use are on the Win XP computer. Sometimes I do run into a program that won't run on Win XP so I will put those on the Win 7 ThinkPad.
I just wanted to get some help / advice as to what portable browser or two portable browsers would be the best to use on this computer. I am thinking that using this newer notebook with a better browser will let me use or see web pages that I'm currently having trouble with.
If by "portable" you are only seeking no registry entries on the host computer, no favorites stored on the computer, favorites travel with the thumb drive, as examples, then *ANY* Chrome-based browser can do that.
Ok ... reading the replies ... the last post by TSNH could be one browser. I forgot that now having a Win 7 computer ... or soon to have one, will get it next week ... anyway, I could use Pale Moon again. I now use New Moon and a few others for Win XP but I can get a few better working browsers now for Win 7.
I'm sure there are many more out there somewhere. Just had to throw in the towel with these web pages not working or my Win XP computer just trying to open a page and just getting so 'hot'. Lately, I am having that problem with Amazon. I didn't seem to have any serious problems with Amazon until the last six months. You would think the computer is going to burst into flames or maybe just melt down.
Any Firefox browser, as well as its forks, Waterfox, Palemoon, can easily be made portable. To do this, make a cmd file in the browser folder with the following line: firefox.exe -Profile "username" If there will be another browser, then accordingly: waterfox.exe -Profile "username"
UnGoogled Chromium v117.0.5938.92-1 at Softpedia. Is v117 a newer version? I downloaded Pale Moon v32.4.1 x64 but can't do anything with it till I get the T520 W7 x 64 notebook. So then if I understand correctly ... I put the UnGoogled Chromium v109.0.5414.120-1 into the Palemoon bin folder after I delete everything in the bin folder.
How about histories, downloads, cookies, caches, etc, etc, will it be all inside the folder where the portable browser is, no mark or any traceable stuffs whatsoever that it will leave behind inside the PC that I used?
But: In normal cases Adobe Flash Player is installed on the main system and Opera will use this plugin when installed. As soon as you visit a Flash-based website, the Flash plugin will save cookies to:
Edit: After reading the comments section, it seems that you are trying to use the portable version of Chrome. This is harder to decet then if you were simply going to try and install it from a USB stick, but there are still ways of detecting this.
It will leave small traces of evidence in Windows registry (but you have to actually know what to look for), even if you just plugin the USB stick and navigate to the folder of the browser on the stick.
Regarldess of whether it's portable Chrome, Firefox, K-Meleon, Opera, Maxthon, or something else.
The portable variant should not write any files/folders or leave any trace on the main "system drive" or elsewhere other than the designated portable folder. There currently is an unofficial portable version of Google chrome available from portableapps.com however, folders are created in the main "system drive\AppData" location despite initiating using switches such as "--user-data-dir=" and "--disk-cache-dir=" instructing chrome otherwise.
I believe Opera offers an official portable version that is fully self contained, so it executes, caches data and installs extensions in a specific portable folder ONLY without writing anything to the "system drive" or elsewhere although, I believe when updating, files are temporarily written to the main system disk.
I understand that chromium has its limitations such that settings and extensions per profile are tied to a specific computer, so if one was to copy/install the portable directory to a USB stick, insert into a different computer and execute, expecting it to retain the aforementioned parameters, it does not. This appears to be a deliberate design function however, one can create a Google account and sync their settings thus retain the parameters. Similarly, I would imagine that synchronising settings using a Microsoft account is required in Edge-Chromium.
If Microsoft could offer a variant that can override this behaviour and retain the settings between different machines (similar to the unofficial Firefox Portable) that would be a huge leap ahead of the rest of the chromium based competition however, a fully self contained, proper portable browser would be perfect at this stage.
