Google Chrome Portable (Windows) – Download & Review

Each of us has a preferred browser and we like to access certain websites on a regular basis. This is why a portable browser is the ideal choice to keep our favorite webpages at hand, while still retaining the reassuring feeling of working with a familiar browser.

Google Chrome Portable is among the first such applications that comes to mind when looking for a browser that runs great out-of-the-box. It is updated on a regular basis, but, unlike its desktop counterpart, each new release needs to be downloaded separately and installed on top of the old one.

Tab support and private browsing

The thing that puts Google Chrome aside from all the others browsers ever since it was launched is that each tab has its own running process (tab isolation), so that when one of them crashes you can simply close the tab, so you are not forced to shut down the entire application.

Another aspect that might convince users to choose Google Chrome as their default browser is that it automatically offers translation for the pages that are in foreign languages, thus saving them the time they would otherwise spend looking for an online translation service.

Google Chrome comes with an ‘Icognito Mode’ which is ideal when users do not want their browsing history to be logged in any way. Due to this mode, none of the visited websites will appear in the search history and will not leave any cookies on the PC once the window is closed.

Bookmarks manager and personalization

Google Chrome enables us to view the most frequently accessed pages when opening a new tab, while also offering us the chance to select multiple URLs to be opened when the browser launches. Another way to have certain websites within reach is to bookmark them and easily access them with a single mouse click.

Also, this browser comes with support for numerous types of so-called webapps which are browser-based applications meant to customize not only the look but also the functionality of Google Chrome. We can personalize it by applying a colorful theme, installing games or speed boosters, depending on each user’s preferences.

In conclusion

To wrap it up, Google Chrome Portable is a very reliable browser that provides users with the possibility to carry on their USB sticks a complex browser, which offers both customization and first-class performance.
