Hi, portable no but I use Vivaldi all day on different Linux/Windows systems and no burning and all addons are synced.
Some more settings are synced, too.Cheers, mib

So what's the logic in not being able to copy a profile to a new system and having extensions work EG. new build with new OS, or just a new OS.
I understand that some bits are encrypted but why are extensions part of that? What exactly is the security risk with having them copied over?

I have a question
If I have two computers, one vivaldi standalone
Can I make two copies of vivaldi standalone and run them on two computers?
Will there be other problems like this: the identity of sync, the identity of the device running vivaldi, etc.

@poto You may have as many standalone instances of vivaldi on as many or as few machines as you like, and sync them all with the same profile. For instance, I run six standalone instances on two machines right here, another 3 on a laptop, and another 3 on a machine 600 miles from here, all synced to the same profile.
Sometimes, if I don't get a chance to keep them all updated, I may find that some of my old/no-longer-valid bookmarks will get synced back to systems where I had deleted them, but I just delete them again, and that gets synced back across the table. So, no big deal.

Saved data for extensions is considered private. It needs to be protected just like login info. However, for Opera, because users complained big time, Opera makes an exception for standalone installations and makes it so extensions survive when running the profile on another OS. It's a good compromise. As for passwords in standalone installations, Opera users rely on sync or use lastpass or keypass for passwords.
As for naming, Opera has always called it a standalone installation (USB) install and now they advertise it as Opera Portable and Opera USB, but it's still "standalone installation" in the installer. "Standalone installation" and "Portable" are considered equal to Opera users, despite the caveat about passwords.

Hi,
As an Update on V for Windows:
2020:Sync'd Profile
Moved to another Machine- Live Chrome Extensions are AutoDownloaded and Installed.
- Settings are Kept in some of them (uBlock, Midnight Lizard...) in others, Partly.
- Sometimes, a Chrome warning appears about "Some Settings has been reset, do you want to reset all?"
Can be Skipped, after check it, they are all kept. - On a Live OS (MediCat), WebPanels disappeared.
Better than before.

It is possible to have all that private info in a single folder, if Slimjet team managed to do it, so does any Chromium browser.@Zalex108
Thanks for the update, but that requires Sync to be on, which isn't exactly what we are looking for. -

Other browsers are portable.
For example: centbrowser.com
