Chromium Portable

There are a lot of people who prefer to use only portable applications on their computer, so as to make sure no unnecessary registry entries are created or left behind after uninstalling them. For instance, there are users who would rather use Chromium Portable instead of Chromium.

The former one can be easily run from a portable device as it does not rely on any components previously installed on the host computer. It is packaged as a *.paf, so it can also be run via the dedicated PortableApps platform, if one has it installed on their USB flash drive.

Other than that, it comes with the same intuitive interface and handy controls of Chromium which enables them to explore websites in tabs or open an incognito session when they want to make sure their search is not logged by the browser’s history.

Those who use Chromium Portable can also automatically translate the current webpage to their native language, as it is specified in the Settings window. Bookmarks can be created with ease so one can rest assured that they can navigate back to any interesting website they found at a later time.

Another function of Chromium Portable is that it supports extensions, so users can explore the Google Web Store to look for addons that could enhance the browser’s functionality or theme to improve its appearance.

Chromium Portable comes with a so-called omnibox, namely the address bar that can also be used as a search box, using the search engine defined by users in the Settings window.

To sum it up, Chromium Portable can turn out to be a handy application for all those who like to keep their software on a portable device and have it within reach while on the go, without losing any of the functions provided by a standard browser.
