A good way of testing new versions of the so called Google browser is by running a portable version of Google Chrome. The only problem that arises is that it can be quite problematic to stay up to date with all the web browser updates that the Google Chrome team releases regularly. Long time Ghacks reader Caschy is regularly creating new portable versions of the Google Chrome browser at his website after official browser updates.
New versions of the Google browser can be regularly downloaded from the website. The browser can then be executed by launching the file ChromeLoader.exe for a normal program start or IncognitoChromeLoader.exe for starting the anonymous mode of the Google browser.
Updates that are released can simple be copied over the existing directory of the Google browser. Users just have to make sure to avoid overwriting the profile directory which stores user related data.
Users who are interested in staying up to date with the portable Google Chrome releases are encouraged to add the RSS feed of the website to their feed reader as this seems to be the best way to be notified of program updates.

Hi Martin, ich bleib mal “in deutsch” – liegt mir mehr ;) – schreib mal meinen Spitznamen bitte richtig – das bekommt irgendwie keiner auf die Kette *lach*. Im Übrigen gibt es in den Vorgängerversionen bei mir (in der jetzigen .30 hatte ich es leider vergessen) einen Extensions-Loader. Damit konnte man dann auch die ersten Erweiterungen nutzen (Mailchecker und Co). Bringt aber noch nicht viel – wird aber bestimmt kommen.

Ive tried out the Chrome Browser but i still think, Firefox is the best Webbrowser on the Market so far. I already deinstalled Chrome from my PC.
SantaCruze, if gold were handed on to you, you’d probably toss it aside…
People like you deserve Firefox, Good luck with that.
Chrome is a good browser, i like how chrome jailed every tab process.
There are up to 20% viewer using Chrome in my host log.
Have a look at the Chromium daily builds – They don’t need to be installed so it’s like downloading an updated version that’s already portable.
Google Chrome is based on Chromium – everything in the Chromium daily builds will be eventually released in Google Chrome :)
Seems the webpage is in german and that the download links dont work.

Why is it that google chrome has advanced from version 2 till 5 with NO visual or speed or performance difference ? They are all just as badly programmed.
Here’s a challenge for you non-believers:
open IE8, open 1 page, say ghacks.net on it
go to task viewer and look at iexplore.exe process to see how much RAM it takes
Close that IE8, open Firefox. do the same thing and loot at firefox.exe
close Firefox, open calculator, and open Chrome, browse to that page and then in task manager look at ALL THOSE chrome.exe processes (just for one page ? are you kidding me ?) and use the calculator to add up the memories. Now compare.
Why is it that google chrome takes much more memory, crashes more often and just acts real bad, everytime I make the mistake of using it ?
