PortableApps (26.2.3) 450+ apps that run from USB

The PortableApps is one of the projects I have been following for many years. The project is constantly evolving, with regular updates to which new applications are added.

So an idea that started in 2004 to create a portable version of Mozilla Firefox has today reached version 26.2.3 (Oct 11, 2023) which contains 450+ mobile apps (49GB) with over a billion downloads.
