A small, fast, portable launcher and updater for Chromium-based browsers on Windows. It can launch Chromium, Chrome, Firefox-based browsers, and keep Chromium automatically updated.

Use cases

  • launch portable chromium on windows
  • keep chromium automatically updated
  • set portable chromium as default browser
  • launch chrome-based browsers like vivaldi or opera
  • update chromium without installing it system-wide

When to choose

  • you run a portable Chromium build on Windows and want quick launching plus automatic updates
  • you want a lightweight default-browser handler for Chromium or Firefox-based browsers
  • you prefer a tiny native tool over heavyweight browser managers

When to avoid

  • you need a browser updater on Linux or macOS - it is Windows-only
  • you need automatic updates for Firefox-based browsers - updater supports Chromium only
  • you want a full browser management suite rather than launch/update functionality
