Google Chrome Portable Download

The portable apps website has started packaging freeware applications recently. Google Chrome Portable 3.0.195.27 release is among the popular new packages. The package installer file doesn't contain the whole application. The launcher and installer are hosted on SF site and the rest is pulled from Google (chrome_installer.exe).

Unfortunately and discriminately, this file is not available for some countries including Iran and if you click the link, you'll be presented with a shameful text from Google. So if you have any problem with downloading process, you can alternatively grab the complete application from Download Link 1 or Download Link 2.

[Update 10/24/2009 8:27 PM]: I've had a discussion with John T. Haller of portable apps about the new download source. He believes it's illegal to include the installer according to the software EULA and "it should be removed". I believe it is unfair, immoral and also illegal to restrict program access by Google according to article 2 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The judgment is up to you.
