Seems to be the issue with portable apps. If you pin brave-portable.exe to the taskbar (by right-clicking it in the portable folder), you end up with 2 brave shortcuts in the taskbar when launched. But after you launch brave-portable.exe, and then right-click it in the Taskbar and Pin to Taskbar, the next time you launch it, it creates an additional User Data folder in your Users folder. Defeats the purpose of portability. So... how do you still launch brave-portable.exe from the taskbar to keep the user data in the portable folder and only keep one item in the taskbar? Thanks.
EDIT: The solution is simple (I think) When you launch Brave via brave-portable.exe with nothing "Brave" in the taskbar, go to Settings under Getting Started, select Pin to Taskbar.
EDIT2: No.. it still doesn't work. That shortcut launches a brand new window with new user data files dumped to C:\Users\|user|\AppData\Local\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\User Data Darn!
(My Brave portable folder is in a folder called Portable in Local Disk C and not in Program Files or Program Files(x86))

Hello
I hope you're doing well. I wanted to check in regarding the Brave portable app issue you mentioned. Have you found any solution to your problem? If so, could you please share the details with me? I'd appreciate any insights you might have.
Thanks in advance for your response.
Best regards

If you pin to taskbar it pins brave.exe not braveportable.exe
This is an issue with all portable apps.
If you want a solution just install brave.
But since this issue is about creating a new window it's much faster to use the hotkey "[CTRL] + [N]"
