I have watched the your excellent YT vid on profiles - but I just want to confirm some things The application I'm working on is desktop based It needs some plugins to be installed It runs headless/silent based on console user imput. So I created a empty profile and launched Exbrowser - added the needed plugins Set the bot to open that profile and worked great Now : 1. do I use chrome portable ? I havnt got to test this yet but I assume its the best to use as it does not create a directory path ? 2. Does the compiled bot take that profile then install it on the users pc - can I hide it s
