SRWare.net

I'm new to SRWare Iron but I have used Chrome.

I downloaded the portable version, created a folder on my HD and extracted the zip to that folder.
The browser works a treat so far, thankyou.
I've even played with the UA.INI (user agent string) and altered that

But here is the basic question. What are the advantages of 'installing' over 'portable' or vice/versa.
i.e. if Portable seems to work so well, why would I need to install?

Apologies if this has been asked and answered before.

Thank you.

portable version is for use on a USB drive/ thumb drive. it'll store your documents, pictures, etc. as if the thumb drive were your "actual" computer. In short, it's for use on computers on-the-go (if you can't or won't use your own.) otherwise use the .zip version you downloaded, since you're only using one computer.

funny thing: if you install the portable apps main launch thingie you can have too separate browser (Iron) with 2 separate sets of favorites. it took me awhile to find this out because i messed up downloading it onto my computer.
