[RANT] Google Chrome Portable IS NOT TRULY PORTABLE!!! Portable Apps LIES! & Right Click To Play Flash

2015-05-31

"Portable Chrome" from PortableApps.com

INSMODSCUM has used Iron Portable (which is just a Chrome clone with ads built in), Chrome Portable (which is just Chromium with PDF and Flash plugin and h264 proprietary codec) and Chromium Portable.

For the uninitiated, the idea behind "portable" software is that you settings-preferences-options-configuration is saved in current directory, so e.g. you can move software between different computers and keep all your shit.

Well, I'll just TLDR this for you now: DO NOT USE "Portable Chrome" from "portableapps.com". It is not portable. When you start "Portable Chrome" on another computer you WILL LOSE your data. All of your extensions, your Chrome config will be gone. Only bookmarks survive.

Chrome detected that some of your settings were corrupted by another program and reset them to their original defaults.

Yes, it seems "portableapps.com" is quick to put copyrights and trade marks all over their shit, but when it comes to delivering, they fall spectacularly short.

Click-To-Play should be enabled by default, but Google is an advertisement company, so why would they enable Click-To-Play thus disabling Flash ads?
Solution: Portable Chromium before ~ 42.0.2311.22. Why that number? Because brogrammers at Google decided to dumb down the click-to-play plugin interaction. Instead of a quick mouse click, one now has to right click and select from a menu. Two actions instead of one, another unnecessary change for change's sake from the dumbfucks at Google.

Portable Chromium 42 ("Google Chrome" is based on "Chromium")
