[FR]: Use a framework for a portable release.

[ANENS]

Description

Use PortableApps.com or PortApps framework to make a portable release.

Who's implementing?

• I'm willing to implement this feature myself

The problem

We're aware Chromium-based browsers cannot be 100% portable due to the way some things work, such as the account-credentials saved, extensions & so on.

However for some as me, we don't mind that that much, if not saying that we see these more as a security-feature than an issue.

But one of the main reasons we like to use these frameworks are because everything is contained within the "install" folder & not spread "randomly" across all the OS.

Possible solutions

As stated in the description, it'll be nice to have a portable release using one of such frameworks.

I really hope you consider this, the easiest framework to work with would be the PortApps one, Floorp Browser decided to use this & they implemented an auto-updater at every launch of the program, so that may work for you.

Other option would be to ask & give permission to @crazy-max, the creator of the PortApps framework, to make the release for you.

Oh, I did not find this feature request when I made my feature request for the same thing. #195

Unlike normal chromium, there is (or was) in Helium Browser, an option for not encrypting the contents of a profile, which would make it possible to have a truly-portable Helium Browser instance.

It would also be nice if the .zip archive from the releases tab of this project, were to also be linked on the website, so we can download the archive without visiting Github.
