Portable Google Chrome Beta

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008

READ: THE DOWNLOAD LINK IS AT THE END OF THE POST!

For your web browsing pleasure, I present to you a portable version of the Google Chrome BETA.

Notes/Instructions

  • It is a single executable.
  • The program will run from USB stick / external media.
  • The default cache and user settings path is still accessed by the program (usually root:\documents and settings\YOUR_USERNAME\local settings\application data\google\ ... )
  • The actual installer only came out a few hours ago, I haven't really tested this portabilisation further than making sure all the basics seem to work (although I can't think of any reason why there would be any problems!). If, however, you do encounter issues while using it -- leave a comment on this post.

Download

The file is being hosted off-site, CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD. If you are having any problems downloading the RAR package, please leave a comment on this post and I will arrange an alternative download solution. Happy browsing :-)

Google Chrome BETA – A first glance

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008

Like many Googleholics around the World, today I was pleased to discover that Google have released their new Chrome browser. Not heard of it? Try taking a look at the bottom of your Google search page and you'll see what I'm talking about:

Google Chrome Browser Beta 1

However! Before you rush off to download and install the latest combatant to enter the browser wars, you might want to have a look at my first glance review!

September Update

Monday, September 1st, 2008

Wow! September already? Anyway, onwards and ... er, upwards as they say!
Over the coming months I will be installing my development site in place of this blog. I know this is going to be a nuisance, but I feel the time has come to have a proper site portal and sandbox for my projects.

The blog will still be accessible (at a URL to be announced, probably just /blog.) and incoming links will be fixed up to reflect this change in location.

Wishing everyone a happy and productive September! :-)
