Vivaldi Portable vs Full Install

@RasheedHolland Correct.

Hi,
You can: [Windows Only]Create or use an existing Data Partition
Create a User folder and point your Default User files folders location to there
- Documents
- FIles
- Videos
- Music
- Desktop
Go to https://portableapps.com
Install the Launcher and then all Apps you may want / needD:/PortableApps
Put Vivaldi there tooAssociate all the files with the PortableApps you've chosen
- Sumatra
- LibreOffice
- Image viewer
- VLC Player
and so on
Then Export their Registry Keys
--
Create a Time Machine folder recreating the
- %AppData%
- %ProgramFiles%
- %ProgramFiles x86%
- %ProgramData%
BackUp there the needed files like other programs set ups
(Not all folder, you'll see in time)--
If you need Reinstall/Reset the System, to restore your set up will be easier.
There's more to bckp but this is the most sized and thought to recreate.

Put Vivaldi there tooI'm not going to pretend that I understood everything what you wrote. But are you trying to say that it should be possible to make a portable version of Vivaldi via some workaround? Now that I think about it, how come there are already quite a few portable browsers, including Chrome, Firefox and Opera?

Nope,
But on every Reinstall / Reset, everything is lost.W11 will implement the option to maintain the Soft and Data in next updates, but currently, not just Vivaldi got lost but all your App Settings and other things.
The above way mitigates that depending on the computer use.
But,
That way you keep Vivaldi each time, you will need to set up very few things using this configuration.Aside,
You still need to BackUp your Profile folder, to be outside system partition does not mean it's SAFE, it can be corrupted also or the disk would fail too. -

I still don't really understand it, but you didn't answer my other question, how come there are portable versions of Chrome, Opera and Firefox?

The changed Security options for Passwords file and some other.

What do you mean? Are you talking about Chrome and Opera that behave differently from Vivaldi, that allows them to become portable? Sorry, it's all a bit confusing to me.

They can do that.
Vivaldi opted to not do it.You can test Installing all them on a computer
Then move the Profile to another (not cloned) and see what changes. -
