Modifications
Here is what differs from the original release to ensure portability :
Following switches are passed to the process.
--user-data-dir=data_path : Directory where the browser stores the user profile. data_path is dynamically generated at launch.
--disable-brave-update : Disable automatic update to avoid regressions.
--no-default-browser-check : Stops Brave from checking if it is the default browser at startup.
--disable-logging : Force logging to be disabled.
--disable-breakpad : Disables the crash reporting.
--disable-machine-id : Allows disabling the machine ID generation on Windows.
--disable-encryption-win : Allows disabling encryption on Windows for cookies, passwords, settings
A shortcut is created at launch to allow native notifications and removed when Brave is closed
--disable-machine-id and --disable-encryption-win have been specially crafted to ensure portability.
