Portable Vivaldi
-
It may be a bit early to suggest this but a portable Vivaldi would be great.
-
I agree, a vivaldi for ios and android would be a great idea.

Portable is not the same as mobile … portable refers to installing it on removable storage and being able to use it on other machines - even if the operating system assigns it a different drive address. So yes, Vivaldi for Android/iOS would be nice too, but it is not related.
-
and to be honest what's the difference between "portable" and "standalone"? AFAIK it's the same so it's already here. You can install Vivaldi as a portable program by choosing "standalone installation" when installing. (though, chromium will not allow you to use saved password on different machines if Vivaldi had not changed it and I would bet on they hadn't.)
-
Portable must use either relative paths or path variables in its settings, so that if his removable drive gets assigned as drive on one machine and E: on a different machine (because the second machine has an optical drive, for example) then it'll still work correctly.

As an fyi Opera has a portable (i.e., install on a usb drive, etc…) version available -> http://www.opera-usb.com/operausben.htm

The OP wants a portable VIVALDI install. Why reference another browser?

Presumably to point out that the other Chromium clone has shown it is possible. :evil:

You mean there's only one other Chromium clone? :p

Decided to use Vivaldi as a portable browser at work so I can take my bookmarks etc. to whichever PC I'm on (currently I'm not in my normal office). My observations:
- The drive letter the USB stick is in can easily be changed by editing "stp.viv" in the "Application" directory
- But after a bit of browsing things slow down to a snail pace - USB stick constantly being accessed for caching etc.
My solution: remove or rename "stp.viv" file and Vivaldi will use the normal Windows user profile. Then that data can be copied to/from the profile on the USB stick and each new machine I plug in to…
-
I guess this works, so long as any machine you use it in is YOUR machine - or you delete the profile after use…
-
They aren't my machines (which is why I tried Vivaldi as a solution)… but now I just make sure I copy the data to the USB stick before deleting it from the user's profile.

Hi
I'm not sure if these is the right thread, or i didn't understand something.
My point is:
Portable install isn't really portable.When you install per example to C:\Temp\Vivaldi
Start Vivaldi, do your customization, browse around, and close Vivaldi.
Move the hole directory to for exp. C:\Temp\Temp2\Vivaldi.
Start Vivaldi, all your settings are gone respectively pointing somewhere else.In Opera, Portable is really portable.
Cheers
