I recently learned that you can make many apps such as browsers portable on a USB drive and I was wondering, aside from being able to take it on the go, what other advantages does portable apps have? I know it won’t take up much storage. Is there any privacy benefits?
Installation restriction at work. You may have rights to execute .exe but not to install app.
I also have a dozen of utility app I daily use (image viewer, PDF viewer, process killer, inkscape, gimp, etc…). I just have to zip my progs folder to backup and I won’t need to reinstall everything if my computer die (which happened last month BTW).
