Portable Applications
I recently tried out portable Firefox for the first time in over a year. Portable Firefox lets me run an instance of the Firefox browser on a USB drive and does not require it to be installed on a PC. In addition, once you close the application, it should leave no trace (remove history file and other temp. data) on the host PC. Wikipedia has a nice little intro as well as a list of portable software. You can also go to go over to portableapps.com to learn more about the portable applications as well make a donation. I was quite impress with the number of software applications that are now available...I wrote this entry using AbiWord one of the Office related products.
Applications are broken into these categories:
- Accessibility
- Development
- Games
- Graphics
- Internet
- Music and video
- Office
- Operating Systems
- Utilities
- Firefox
- PuTTY
- FileZilla
- Sumatra PDF viewer
- OpenOffice
- Giam
- GIMP
- Opera

I've been using portable firefox daily for a couple years now and love it. Still have proxies to deal with, but at least I'm not stuck with IE.
