chrlauncher

You start and manage a portable Chromium-build.

Developer Henry++

Version 2.6 · Open source · Windows

chrlauncher is a launcher and updater for Chromium, with settings for the chosen build and update behavior. It's not the browser engine itself.

The system requirements of the downloaded Chromium-build can be stricter than those of the launcher. Choose the download source consciously.

Make a distinction between the launcher and the Chromium-build he manages. They may have different version numbers and update channels. Check which channel and execution you choose before updating an existing browser environment.

Keep important profile data and test another build if possible separately. Portable usage does not automatically prevent local data from being stored. For daily accounts, a predictable update and recovery route is more important than always the latest experimental build.

Version and updates

Version 2.6 (Published Launcherbuild; Chrome has a separate version number). The launcher prevents sleep mode until the download is ready and can start Brave. Errors with spaces on the command line, cleaning old Chrome versions and double-open windows have been fixed. Flash support has been deleted; Windows 7 SP1 is the minimal Windows version for this build.

Our verdict

chrlauncher fits if you deliberately want to manage a particular portable Chromium version. Check who supplies that build and how quickly security updates appear. Use a separate profile for experiments. For simply surfing with automatically regulated maintenance, a regular browser installation is easier.
