After the release of Google Chrome in 2008, this browser immediately gained public recognition and became one of the most popular web surfing tools, and Google strengthened its position in the market and confirmed its status as a dominant company in the Internet industry. The reasons for the popularity of Google's browser are simple. A clear and convenient interface, almost lightning-fast speed of launching the program and opening pages on the Internet, support for extensions, good stability and security.
Now the craftsmen from PortableApps have presented a portable version of the browser - Google Chrome Portable. While retaining all the advantages of its “big brother,” lightweight Chrome has acquired one more plus – mobility. If you want to take advantage of all the functionality of the regular version, but do not want to install the browser on your computer, just download Chrome Portable to a USB drive and launch it when needed, literally with two clicks of the mouse. It is worth noting that even for the sake of portability, nothing was cut from this version. Portable Chrome retains exactly the same design, convenient tab management, independence of each window (if one page freezes, it will not affect the work of the others), support for extensions, and much more. Numerous tests have confirmed that Google Chrome is the fastest browser. Now, with the advent of Google Chrome Portable, it's safe to say that Google's brainchild has become even faster.
Key Features and Functions
- does not require installation;
- high speed;
- low system requirements;
- high level of browser stability and security;

I’ll write right away that I use this browser myself, so I will only praise it, of course I will have objectivity in this, I hope so of course. So, here is a new version of an excellent program with which you can browse the Internet completely comfortably, and at the same time you will receive all the necessary tools for this. I’ll write right away about how the browser is installed - you just need to run the corresponding file inside the archive, then we sit and wait, everything will happen in the background, after the process is complete, the browser will start itself, I advise you from our website.
So, I see a lot of advantages for myself, keep in mind that before I got hooked on Google Chrome, I tried many alternatives, starting with IE and Maxton, ending with Fox and Opera. This browser launches almost instantly, even if a large number of add-ons are installed in it, Lisa does it many times slower, which is why I have always disliked her. Further, Google Chrome has never crashed for me before, Fox exactly once every couple of weeks, for this I had to use a special program to save all the parameters.
Google Chrome also quickly installs add-ons, of which there are a great many on a special website, everyone can find something interesting for themselves. Naturally, it is worth noting a minus, in the opinion of most users, and I think so myself, the browser sends all sorts of information to Google, where they examine it and understand what preferences users have. Many people don’t like it, as it is, without our asking, of course there are many opinions, I don’t care, even I don’t worry about it, if they like it, then so be it, store passwords in other places, that’s all, I think this problem will disappear.
Of course, Google Chrome works with the latest web standards, it displays pages perfectly, you can manage tabs and bookmarks, synchronize data, there is also Russian support, each tab and addition is a separate process in the system, which you can complete without causing damage. This is detrimental to the entire program. As far as I know, Google Chrome is very safe, in general there are many advantages, perhaps that’s all I wanted to tell you, you can still write for a long time, but you need to know when to stop, I hope the program will bring you as many positive emotions as it does me.

Download.
Google Chrome Portable is the same Chrome, but now it works without installation. All you have to do is download the file, run it and your browser opens. The advantage of using without installation is that the file works from any media: USB flash drive, CD, external HDD, etc.
Also, Portable Chrome is suitable for those who want to try the program and, based on the current picture, will agree or refuse the installation. The portable version of Google offers an exact copy of the functionality of the original browser.
Working with bookmarks
If you find a site that interests you and want to return later, then add it to your bookmarks by clicking on the “add to bookmarks” button. Once added, it will be displayed on the first browser page that opens after you start working. Bookmarks added by the user will be stored here. He can easily group them into categories and folders by dragging them on top of each other. In the settings, enable the display of the sites most visited by the user, which he, however, has not added to bookmarks.
Program installation
Initially, installation may require you to download additional megabytes from the network. But after you have installed it, you can move or copy the folder with the program anywhere - it will work everywhere.
Squeeze traffic
The traffic compression function increases the loading and opening speed of pages. Having a weak network connection, the browser will also quickly open the content of the required page and show it to the user. This function is not relevant on a personal computer, since they often use unlimited Internet via Wi-Fi, which does not require saving traffic. But it will be useful for the mobile version.
Settings
The portable version of the browser, similar to the real one, supports a full list of settings and also installs extensions. Extensions change the functionality of the browser. The definition of “extension” includes modules that make changes to the browser interface: they will move buttons, change the menu, change the download bar, and so on.
The use of prepared themes will create an emotional background when working on the Internet.
Voice input
Just like the full-fledged Google Chrome, Portable works with voice input. 145 different languages are supported. If you downloaded the Russian version of the program, then your default recognition language is set to Russian. If the English version is English. The browser gets it wrong only five percent of the time, but the rest it accurately converts speech to text.

App Notes
Passwords Not Saved Between PCs By Default: Google Chrome stores passwords in such a way that they are encrypted in a way tied to current PC.

We"ve added password portability as an advanced option, though, which you can enable by reading the help. html file.
Certificates Not Portable: Google Chrome has no certificate manager. It uses Windows" certificates manager. So, any certificates you install through the Google Chrome interface are stored on the current local machine and will not travel with you. Thus, you should not use any private certificates with Google Chrome except on your own PC.
Some Settings/Extensions Locked Per PC: Google Chrome locks specific settings to a given PC. Details are. This behavior is by design by the Chrome team. If you would like this changed, please file a bug with the Chrome team. A suggested workaround is to sign in to Google to restore all settings and extensions and to use an extension such as Session Buddy to maintain your session state as you move PCs..
Note that other portable browsers such as Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition do not have any of the issues mentioned above. These issues are specific to Chrome due to Chrome's design and not something we can work around without fixes to the base app by the Chrome developers.
Google Chrome Portable browser was designed to give users a faster, easier and more secure Internet experience, with an accessible and simple interface. The browser uses WebKit components from Apple and Mozilla Firefox.
The standard version is also available in a portable version, which offers the same stability but the ability to save settings without installation. The Russian version is also available on USB! Important security changes are also taken into account, including the ASLR entropy increasing mechanism. Added DirectWrite support to improve font rendering quality.
Google Chrome Portable on USB has many interesting solutions available along with an intuitive interface. One of the functions is a smart bookmark map of the most frequently visited pages of users. This makes surfing the web much easier and clearer.
Anonymity
The incognito feature allows you to browse the web without leaving any traces on your computer. Google described this feature as follows: “If you want to find information in hidden mode, for example, when preparing surprises or when searching for gifts, etc., Google Chrome portable offers an incognito mode. Web pages viewed and files downloaded are not recorded in the browser history. Any new cookies received during your visit are deleted when you close the incognito window. You can view it in normal mode and in incognito mode at the same time.”
Portable version
The difference between the Portable version for USB and the main program is that there is no need to install the browser. You can simply install it in the desired directory on Windows and use it as usual. Then it’s convenient to copy it onto a USB flash drive and carry it with all the history and settings wherever you want. Russian language is also available for the portable version.
Import
The browser allows you to import data from other applications of this type. When installed, Google Chrome copies your browsing history, saved websites, and passwords from the default browser on the system. It is currently possible to import settings from Firefox or Internet Explorer.
Download manager instead of a separate program
The download manager, as one of the features of Google Chrome Portable, works in the background, the user does not need to switch to new tabs for control. Downloads are automatically collapsed to the bottom panel and, if necessary, you can view your downloads as a new tab.
Google says the browser has tools that can handle complex online applications well. By separating the work processes of individual browser bookmarks, the load on the entire application is eliminated. Particular attention is paid to security by displaying messages when visiting dangerous websites. The speed of the browser itself has been significantly improved. The application is based on V8, but uses JavaScript, which allows you to run very complex network applications that are not available in modern browsers.
At first glance, Google Chrome Portable is not an innovative product, but we must admit that it has an incredibly simple interface. Both the program and technical documentation are completely Russified.
