GIMP Portable 2.6.2 is slightly different from GIMP 2.6.2, in the sense that this application is “portable“; that is, the installation can be done on a USB thumb drive or a removable drive and data is not written onto the hard disk drive. Thus it allows users to carry the application on a thumb drive and move it from one PC to another. That is an amazing feature, if you are working in an environment where installation of programs is strictly prohibited on the host PC.

As I speak, Google Chrome is quietly upgrading your version to the latest release at the background. This can be quite disturbing because if you don’t click on the “About Google Chrome” link on the program, you probably will not realise the change in the version number.

Nevertheless, for new users, this is probably good news for you too: Google is still keeping Google Chrome as updated as possible. It is not a software that they will simply develop and leave it aside. That’s a sign of relief. Thus, if you are interested to use Google Chrome as your web browser, access the download site from the link below.
