I recently learned that you can make many apps such as browsers portable on a USB drive and I was wondering, aside from being able to take it on the go, what other advantages does portable apps have? I know it won’t take up much storage. Is there any privacy benefits?


I used them on Windows to manage a handful of websites. I’d have a Websites folder with sub folders for each site, and a few portable apps in each one. I’d have Thunderbird and Firefox at least, and they’d keep everything separate.
For me at least, it made things a lot easier than trying to remember to log in to profiles etc individually :)
