First, thanks for maintaining ungoogled-chromium portable. I have been using the previous version for a year now.

I expanded 127.0.6533.89.7z to a new folder in Windows 10.

The page here says that "--disable-logging" is passed to the executable. But in my instance it is generating a log file anyway.

So then I tried using ungoogled-chromium-portable.yml to disable logging. And to enable cleaning.

The first problem I had using the .yml is that it seems to be hard-coded to expect chrome.exe.

So after I added the path to the portable for the app_path (without quotes) and renamed ungoogled-chromium-portable.exe to chrome.exe, I receive a "Failed Command" window in Windows.

I cannot kill that process and I have to reboot Windows to clear it.

While I am reporting issues, I have also noticed that ungoogled.chromium,portable grows a LOT of .tmp files. Most of them have the suffix TransportSecurity~. Some have the suffix LOG.old~ None which ever seem to clear themselves. (Which is why I tried enabling the clean function in .yml.)

Is it just me? I have a very "hacked" version of Win10, where I've used NTLite to remove a lot of Windows components for security.

(As I write this, it ocurrs to me that I should try running ungoogled-chromium-portable in a vanilla Win10 in a VM to see if the problem follows Windows or if it follows the portable app.)

Oops - never mind on the .yml file not working. I failed to realize that the app_path for the "app" is to the chrome executable in ungoogled-chromium-portable\app. (Not to the portable executable.) After that change, it has stopped generating a log file.
