IMHO, K-M run with a portable / relative profile provides the best trade-off on speed, size, usability, feature availability, and data left on the computer.  An empty K-M folder or an empty Mozilla folder (depending on the dll) is insignificant - and if it is bothersome, use a program like Portidy to remove the dummy folder "automatically" when the USB is disconnected.

I've been running so-called portable / pocket programs exclusively for a couple years now and I don't know of any browser that I'd truly care to use - and I've tried about all of them - that leaves absolutely nothing at all on the disc after use. Even programs that use scripts to clean the user app area when the browser is closed can often leave history related data in the registry.  A problem with the script approach is if the browser crashes during use, all the data is left on the disk.  Better to leave a dummy / empty folder, I suppose.

As a side note, a problem Firefox has is that many of the browser plug-ins can be problematic. And almost no one runs FF without plug-ins.  Several of the popular plug-ins - anything related to Google, for instance (there are others, as well) - leave information on the disc. K-M has the best features built-in or available via macros.  I am really impressed with the update to the macro page and the variety of macros available for K-M.  Does anyone know who did the work there?  Very well done - Thanks!
