Is it possible for you to add chrome to your amazing collection of apps?

Hi @OrangeDrangon, I will take a look on your request. Thanks for your input ;)

I would suggest having 2 flavors of Chrome. One is Chrome 32 and the other Chrome 64.

The logic it allows running 2 Chrome sessions next to each other with each having its own set of cookies and ID's.

@RoyiAvital Chrome and by definition all browsers based on its engine cannot be fully portable. See portapps/brave-portable#4 for more information. This PR brave/brave-core#795 could solve this on Chrome btw ;)

I know it can be portable as PortableApps does it. What I mean is to have 2 instances of Chrome which doesn't share the same cookies.

In PortableApps it is done by having one 32 Bit Version and one 64 Bit Version.

No it's not. Try to move your Chrome portable to another computer and check your extensions.

For me portable means it doesn't leave any traces on the machine. I don't need any extension or anything.

When I say "check your extensions" it's because they will be removed on an other computer as well as passwords, cookies, etc... So portable behavior is lost. Check this thread for more info.

@crazy-max , I'm aware Google encrypt data in a manner it is not transferable to other computers.

As I said, for me, the most important feature of a portable programs is leaving no trace on the host computer. This keeps my computer as tidy as it was on the installation day.

Anyhow, it is a known limitation and still people use Chrome in portable flavor. What I asked for is having different release for 32 Bit and 64 Bit.
