Portable browsers are supposed to run while they are on a removable storage device. YouTube videos require the browser to have a plugin of Flash Player in the browser. Flash Player is not portable. This means we cannot play YouTube videos with a portable browser on a flash drive because Flash Player is not portable. Is this wrong or correct? If correct, how could we play YouTube videos with a browser on a portable storage device?
EDIT: Partial answer to my own question - The portable version of Iron browser apparantly has a Flash Player built-in the package. I unpacked the zipped file of Iron Browser, portable version onto a usb flash drive, visited YouTube, and played a video there with no problem.
