    well i assume it needs to be installed, i was wondering if chromeplus has a version thats just the .exe file and runs from that.

    I'd be interested in knowing whether Chromium Plus installs in Program Files or User space (like Chrome). I really don't understand the logic in doing that.

    Anyone can claim to be 'dedicated in improving the use experience of Chrome browser' (sic). But would you want to download and run code from an unverified source? SRWare Iron development may be slow - and its English translations a disaster - but at least it's a reputable company... and Iron Portable just works fine!

    like mouse gestures and super drag (not shown), th eones that are really usefull are shown in picture

    ...and it feels faster than chrome and iron ??

    I have it running as untrusted with defensewall. I changed image and ran it with Malware Defender with everything on report and allow. No issues which keep me awake at night.

    Z-factor, pitty you do not live in Europe, we could meet on a race track, to scrape some tarmac.
