The research supported by real statistics indicates that, Chrome, its source Chromium and countless homologous varieties browsers have overwhelmingly occupied the market of web browsers. Although this is true and not always a good thing.
The possibility of Mozilla Firefox turns the tables depends on whether it can absorb advantages from its homologous varieties (such as Waterfox) and magnify them. As for IE, as long as Windows exists, it won’t go away – which can be attributed to the powerful vitality of a variety of popular applications based on IE. But it still does not have a chance to turn at all.
For web browser that we have to use almost every day, Google Chrome and Chromium’s biggest drawback is that they store their various configurations/profiles and other important data for users in the system partition (C:\ volume). That means once we move its installation directory or reinstall Windows, then all the data and configurations will be lost (trouble is, their manual backup process is very painful and grudging). Even if we can use some specially designed tools (like MozBackup) to automate this operation, it’s also hard to avoid that we always forget such kind of things.
The biggest characteristic of portable edition lies in this, it just save all data generated by Chrome or Chromium inside the browser’s extraction directory. That’s to say, you can take them along with all the related data and configuration profiles anywhere without any concern for the possibility of data loss.
Prompts:
Serious bugs exist in Chrome 69, 70 and other versions: 1) very slow startup and page loading; 2) what’s worse – all non-currently active pages will be reloaded and when you activate it again, and this is an endless loop repeating itself. For example, this bug directly results in all the pages that are uploading files being reloaded, thus all uploading processes will be interrupted.
To initialize your Chrome, just empty the “User Data” folder to make it brand-new.
