Default What Is Your Favorite Portable Web Browser?

While theres already a poll on web browsers here, i thought it would be helpful for all to learn just what "Portable" type browsers do members prefer as opposed to installed browsers. I attempted to list as many as i could find relevant to today's O/S windows system.

Since most Portable users prefer more than one, your options can reflect multiple selections.

i voted for Firefox because of NoScript and also because there's no 'stable' release every couple of days, like Chrome.

got better things to do than upgrading a portable app all the times.

I voted for SeaMonkey as it works really well for me as a portable. Firefox is good though & I tend to use it as a back up if I ever need it. However Fx can keep bugging me about plug-ins if I am using it on different computers during the day. None of that saftness on SM. Portable App's SeaMonkey is also fast, stable & is virtually indestructible. I would have thought Opera made a good portable, I have lost track of the times I unintentionally fried Opera's different portable versions. I used Iron's portable for a while but I had upgrading problems amongst other things. To be totally honest, Chrome's portable (by Portable Apps) is pretty good now. I tried Maxthon but although I quite liked it, I had some problems with its adblocker.

Firefox Portable is my favorite and I use it as my main browser. I stated my reasons here. The only difference is that now I prefer the stable portable FX build -- because the betas are not updated with the frequency I would like.

Other portable browsers I keep on hand are Opera, Chrome (dev build) and QtWeb.

The only "installed browser" I keep is Internet Explorer - because there is no portable version of it.

Opera Mini and Nokia Browser are installed in smartphones I own.

Just ran across a little tidbit of browser brands info. Apparently according to this report there are currently 52 internet browsers for the Windows Platform.

I'm really getting into this Portable browser buzz, nothing personal against IE but i've always had nothing but trouble with IE and now that theres plenty of much better & reliable as well as efficient alternatives available, i will likely never use IE again period!

Besides, with alternatives that mirror IE with it's hilarious Bing search engine theres no use in it anyway IMHO.
