That's why the term USB stick is mainly used in the German language. Flash drive is actually far too unspecific. But back on topic. What about your file systems on your drives?

June 8, 20242 yr I hope you all know that a new profile must be initially created using the two portable flags, and don't even think to launch it without them even once!

Most private data collecting browsers, like the infamous Chinese Opera, don't allow to use that flag! This ought to tell something! We, along with @D.Draker, discovered it's bound to Opera Customer Unique ID.

It shouldn't be like that, even if you always used those two flags. Probably your motherboard, OS and username are the same or similar? The browser gets you PC info via GetOEMCP. Is it on XP, by any chance? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winnls/nf-winnls-getoemcp

Also tried on the same (multiboot) box, from XP to 11. Odd.

June 8, 20242 yr To be "fair" and "equal" - all of this flash drive talk sure sounds like rambling to me. waka waka waka Yeah, when A points that out to B, my thoughts go immediately to "what an A.." So how's that for a "ramble"?

You can try to transfer your Thorium profile from a flash drive to another one which both are formatted in NTFS. Maybe then it works.

For me, If I use always use --disable-machine-id and --disable-encryption, only extensions and saved passwords are left. Cookies are completely broken if moved to another PC.

That ID serves several purposes, the first one is tracking and helping police to investigate and build a case against you, if you don't behave. It's used to prove you posted threats from your PC (for example). P.S. I'd always use this flag with Thorium, especially! Remember the scandal with child porn?
