I happened upon this posting with a link to a portable version of Google's new browser, Chrome. The direct link to that is available in German and a translated version in English.
Unlike the version in this forum topic, this version claims to truly be portable. I have not yet fully tested it, but it might be worth trying out.

It is pointless to even want a portable version of this program because it is a beta version, has many bugs, missing many useful features, and there are alternative browsers that do a fantastic job compared to it. I'll take Portable Firefox any day, unless Google Chrome shows that it is a better browser and offers something that Firefox lacks. Guess I'll have to wait for the future beta/stable releases.

My Firefox works pretty fast, even with all of the addons I added to it. I use a few addons to help make my Firefox faster, and it is also compresses using UPX, so that helps. One addons I use to speed up Firefox is BetterCache. Still waiting for a 3.x compliant version of Fasterfox.

Is Chrome portable?
Have anybody been trying out the new Google browser Chrome, do you in case know if it needs to be installed or if it can function on it's own, as a portable app?
Sorry, I looked in the wrong part of the forum

Also (and this is from the Major Geeks and the Original blog Installs)
If I run it with admin privileges (via regfromapp) I can open it but only can navigate to the error screen
If I run it regular I get an app error.
OH Yeah and it's Google, so it's perpetual beta and if you have issues the response will be "sorry it's beta we'll fix it when we fix it"
I claim shenanigans on both portability and this whole apps existence (yet another webkit project that will be unpatched as webkit gets patched)

Re: Portable Chrome - Application Error on run
Hi all,
After install of Chrome Portable into my PortableApps folder (on XP Pro), I run it from the PortableApps menu.
I get an application (0xc0...05) error right away.
BTW - This also occurs with the Iron Portable install.
My other portable apps load fine (including FireFox portable).
Any ideas why this is occurring?
Thanks!
