04:31:10 <sweetping> I downloaded Chrome portable.
04:31:17 <sweetping> There is an add-on I would like to use.
04:31:50 <sweetping> How may I 'install' the add-on using the portable version of Chrome - on a public computer (at the library)?
04:32:01 <Gizmokid2005> sweetping: just like you'd install any other.
04:32:30 <sweetping> Could the add-on be installed at home - on the USB drive?
04:32:50 <Gizmokid2005> sweetping: just install it in that portable version of chrome
04:32:52 <Gizmokid2005> no matter where.
04:33:05 <sweetping> Should I only install the add-on at the library - each time I load the portable version of Chrome from the USB drive?
04:33:43 <sweetping> Install once or install every time? This is what I am unsure of and don't understand.
04:34:25 <Gizmokid2005> Just once sweetping, unless you're read only.
04:34:30 <Gizmokid2005> Which is unlikely
04:34:37 <sweetping> ok
04:34:58 <sweetping> The portable version of Chrome is 'almost exactly' like the installed version of Chrome, right?
04:35:18 <Gizmokid2005> Correct.
04:35:50 <sweetping> Is the portable version of Chrome lacking in anyway? 100% the same or 95% the same or 75% the same?
04:36:38 <Gizmokid2005> It should be nearly identical except that it is portable and doesn
04:36:42 <Gizmokid2005> 't retain temp files.
04:38:00 <sweetping> Doesn't retain temp files? Does that mean it offers privacy which installed versions don't offer?
04:38:43 <Gizmokid2005> No
04:43:02 <sweetping> ok
04:43:58 <sweetping> Are add-ons easy to develop? If I need a customised add-on - would it be costly to order for one?
04:45:13 <Gizmokid2005> Wrong place to ask. Most addons are usually done by people who want them for free. You'd need to check somewhere else for that.
04:46:20 <sweetping> Ok. I need to close this version of Chrome now. I want to try to install the add-on on the portable version of Chrome on the USB drive.
04:46:27 <sweetping> Thank you very much for your help today.
