    The Stable channel has been updated to 21.0.1180.79.

    Don't know yet what the update is for, but it could be to fix a problem with Flash Player. Just guessing. :)

    It's supposed to be Flash bugfixes. This will probably be common for a few more updates as the PPAPI just rolled out.

    Thanks again, Page!

    the update re-enabled the NPSWF32_11_x_xxx_xxx.dll plugin that I had disabled (along with the gcswf32.dll). I had only the pepflashplayer.dll enabled. Not a big deal to disable again until Google hopefully fixes it, but obviously something to be aware of. I think I've seen where others in these forums have encountered this as well.

    If you have a previous version, you can just update Chrome files manually. Download Chrome's installer, extract the files and put them inside GoogleChromePortable\App\Chrome-bin

    Since the last Chrome update I get the following error message with Ghostery: "This extension failed to modify a network request because the modification conflicted with another extension".
    This is displayed as a small, clickable orange exclamation mark on the Chrome wrench.

    I've noticed also that a couple of other extensions suddenly were grayed out... WOT on one machine and AdBlock on another. The timing (with the recent Chrome update) is either very coincidental or very related. :)

    Pinga, at the end of that column, there is an and more link, that takes you to this page: http://portableapps.com/news/new and that's where all the New Apps are listed. They are also listed in the main PortableApps.com Releases and News page.

    What are you using to "automatically scan" the page?

    Thanks for that, JR. I'm using Page Monitor:

    https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pemhgklkefakciniebenbfclihhmmfcd

    It's set up to alert me, among other things, whenever

    http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/google_chrome_portable

    changes, which typically happens when a new version comes out. Now if that same page also contains
    there is very little point in monitoring it :D

    I will, but we haven't solved the problem yet. There must be many people that use one or two PortableApps and will occasionally want to check the site for updates. They don't necessarily want to know about all updates, let alone this whole New Apps Every Week thing. One dedicated page for each app that only changes when there's a new version would be ideal.

    Well, you don't have to check the site, because the PA Platform provides a feature, via Options > Advanced tab, to check for updates on platform start-up, and those who use the platform would always be up-to-date.

    Adding a 'platform' to what is supposed to be making one's life less complicated is an oxymoron... Fortunately, many apps on the portableapps.com are natively portable, even without the portableapps.com bloat. Less is more ;)

    The Stable channel has been updated to 22.0.1229.79.
    (The wrench icon in the toolbar is gone. How long has that been gone? Maybe this version release got rid of it?)

    Thanks Page, you don't miss anything do you? The wrench icon has definitely disappeared with this update.

    Quite a number of serious and critical vulnerabilities. I think with the vulnerabilities in this cycle alone you could get out of a Windows sandbox.

    UXSS and a kernel exploit. That sounds like plenty to me.

    You're welcome, Osaban. Hard to overlook a missing wrench on the toolbar. :D

    Indeed I noticed today as well when I updated.

    Glad to hear of more security fixes too. ;)
