There are some issues with that entry:

The icon is wrong (this is the real one)
The license isn't FreeBSD (2-clause BSD); it's 3-clause BSD

Chromium Portable's first release was in the beginning of 2010, so -.- cannot be the first one to suggest it

I also think that the description could be changed to something like this:

Quote:

Chromium Portable is a custom-built version of the dev channel of the Chromium web browser, optimized for portable use and packaged in the PortableApps.com Format. It also supports jPortable.

Although it looked the same, I went ahead and updated.

I think he means the first person to point out the program here on PFWC.

Thanks for the feedback, kAlug. And thanks for the improvements, webfork.

I originally put the correct icon there. Checker changed it to a wrong one.

We don't really have a policy about this.
The credit could go to the member (-.-) who first mentioned the base application (Chromium).
Or it could be given to the one (me) who first mentioned this particular portable version (Chromium Portable)

The choice doesn't matter much to me. I decided to give the credit to -.- so that I don't look like being selfish. :mrgreen:

You could put -.- & SYSTEM so then everyone is a winner.

You used the correct one. I tried to improve it, because it was a little bit fuzzy. I first used the Chromium icon, but than I saw, that Chromium Portable has an icon with an USB sign it it.
So I changed it to this ... it's the same you show here :wink:

It was already changed to the correct one by me

What a subtle change with the icon, I wouldn't have noticed it

Chromium Portable has been updated to 16.0.912.0. The latest version can now be downloaded from http://crportable.sourceforge.net/services/download/
The license for the whole package is a mix of BSD, GPL, LGPL, et al.; I believe you can describe it as GPL.

That's my understanding as well. Entry updated.

Thank you, kAlug.

I made the License field more exact and changed the download link.

The new release 16.0.912.15 includes support for the Do Not Track HTTP header, based on code available in Chromium's issue 81844.
In order to enable it, edit the Preferences file inside your profile folder (look at chrome://version, field "Profile path") with a decent editor and add "do_not_track": true, to the first line (after the {).

The only problem is that, the way you have written it, it seems that it is a Chromium feature, when in fact it is an addition to Chromium Portable. I suggest reverting the first paragraph and changing the second one to:

Quote:

Chromium Portable is a custom-built version of the dev channel of the Chromium web browser, packaged in the PortableApps.com Format. It is optimized for portable use, supports jPortable and includes some modifications from the vanilla Chromium, like support for the Do Not Track opt-out specification.
