Google Chrome is a web browser designed for simplicity and speed. Its minimalistic appearance and capabilities can be extended with themes and extensions. The program integrates with Google's tools and services, and can sync across other signed-in devices.
Cross-platform with clients available for Mac, Linux, Android and iOS.
Google Chrome Portable is the PortableApps version of the program. It includes automatic support for jPortable to enable web-based Java apps. For users interested in the cutting edge, Beta and Development are also available. For Windows versions from XP to 8, see past versions.
Fixed in v132. This note will be removed entirely when v133 becomes available: Starting in v125, Chrome silently stopped supporting portable versions, which noticeably stopped supporting portable printing (including saving as PDF). Starting in v126, Chrome Portable bypasses it by hardcoding the command line parameter --disable-features=PrintCompositorLPAC (see the disable-features command line).

See: https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/search/label/Stable updates In v132, Google has disabled the PrintCompositorLPAC feature by default. This fixes the printing problem that started in v125, and eliminates the need to use a command-line parameter to disable PrintCompositorLPAC. |

“Over the years [Chrome] has gained a reputation for being something of a resource hog, gobbling up your PC’s memory like it’s going out of style.” Starting with version 108, the Chrome desktop browser has a feature called Memory Saver that deactivates tabs that aren’t currently being used. When a user accesses a deactivated tab, it automatically reloads. A user can turn Memory Saver on or off. A user can also exclude specific sites from Memory Saver, keeping tabs for those sites active. See:

I've added a note (with references) that portable versions of Chrome are no longer supported. They still work, but with bypasses and an uncertain future. |

Although it's an image uploader with a lot of capability, I was actually most impressed by the included screen capture system. The super easy annotation and batch uploads may completely change how I do screen captures.

Windows Registry Recovery allows to directly read files containing Windows registry hives and extract many useful information about the configuration and windows installation settings of the host machine.
Note that the program is not simply a registry editor: it works with other tools, including exported keys. It’s useful for seeing registry issues, sandboxing tools, and diagnostics. To your own computer's registry files, open a NTUSER.DAT system file but keep in mind that these are usually hidden by Windows to avoid accidental deletion.

This great debloating tool is not only great at fighting very effectively the really abnormal Win 11 bloat but it also sports a file shredder. Under "Tools" > "File Shredder" you can tick "Add File Shredder to Send To Menu" (top right) which allows you to shred any file or folder quickly from within the explorer context menu. If you untick that command, the file shredding option instantly disappears from the context menu. AFAIK HiBitUninstaller is the only tool with a shredder option that can be added to and removed from the explorer context menu as conveniently and without any problem as that. |
