- joshfinnie 17y agoThat is true. I have no administration permissions on my computer at work. Installing another browser is just not an option. Hence the problem (I would not be using IE6 if I had the choice!)
- kaitnieks 17y agoCan you not run portable versions, too?
- robin_reala 17y agoHah, my obvious answer seems to be less obvious than I thought :) No admin rights? Enter portableapps.com: http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/google_chrome_portable http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/google_chrome_portable Obviously the usual caveats apply to software from 3rd party sources, but portableapps.com has been going for years with no complaints.
