NotHereToPlayGames Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 I've already completely "portablized" Supermium but it's still completely useless to me since it will not be offering an "ungoogled" version. To "portablize" I use an oldie but goodie called JauntePE which I put in the same class as Proxomitron (ie, too complex for anybody that hasn't already heard of them).

So you want to say you can copy the supermium folder with your existing profile to another PC, and it keeps all your settings, passwords, extensions, cookies, etc? I'd like to see the proof of that. Thanks. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotHereToPlayGames Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 (edited) I have never allowed ANY web browser to "keep passwords", so this it technically does not do - but I also DO NOT want it to. But YES, all of my extensions and all of my extensions' settings carry from one computer to the next. If you are familiar with "ThinStall" (or was it called "ThinApp"?) from a decade or so ago, that's basically what JauntePE is. It can "portablize" pretty much anything - but there is a learning curve. I also have JauntePE'd versions of every version of Microsoft Office dating back to 1995. Well, "every" version that I own - '95, '97, 2000, XP, 2003, 2007, and 2010. Haven't tried to JauntePE-ify Office 365 (kind of doubt that is possible).

Ungoogled is fully portable by using only the two flags, everything is saved, and no need to complicate life with any third party tools. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotHereToPlayGames Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 I know, I use Ungoogled. I abandoned Supermium when it became perfectly clear that "ungoogled" is not in its future. But on the "portable" front and LOGGED-IN SESSIONS carrying from one computer to the next, folks have been "debating" that for over THIRTY years! It is "neat" that Ungoogled found a way around that when creator-defined "portable" browsers have 'overlooked' that for DECADES. But it's also a "feature" that I do not use nor do I want. That is why we have HUNDREDS of different browsers to choose from, "one size will NEVER fit all". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing to "debate over" since the author of Supermium doesn't provide the portability in any form or shape, But he promises to consider. https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/107#issuecomment-1839998949 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoltboy01 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Supermium 121 just released yesterday and it restored compatibility for even Windows XP, which is actually quite impressive. Good job win32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job win32 Thanks, perhaps you missed, yesterday there was an investigation, in which a conclusion had been made, it's not really portable (it needs to place file/files into OS folder), but most importantly- it writes to ones registry. So not suitable as a portable suggestion for this topic. writes to registry https://msfn.org/board/topic/185045-supermium/?do=findComment&comment=1259018 file in system32 folder https://msfn.org/board/topic/185045-supermium/?do=findComment&comment=1259022 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chromium license has nothing to do with Supermium, Supermium has "progwrp.dll" (without it it doesn't work) - Supermium is *officially* a close source programme. https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/309#issuecomment-1974917968 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some here wrote Cats XP is good, I still need to check it out myself. Seems like it has spying features out of the box. But it's indeed portable.

Thanks ... Some fast research - Brave community page tells us it's based on Chromium 120.0.6099.144 https://community.brave.com/t/release-channel-1-61-109/522518 It shouldn't start on Windows 7 by the definition. But you're very welcome to try and tell us. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last Brave that works on Windows 7 is from the early 1.50 range or better 1.49 range. Basically you need to find the one that is based on Chrome 109. Later don't work. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
