This is a portable build of Thorium which can also be used to install/use Thorium on Linux distros that do not use .deb packages. The thorium-browser script and thorium-shell script will need to be made executable with sudo chmod +x, and when run will disable logging, default browser check, and set the user data dir to .config/thorium in this folder rather than the usual $HOME/.config/thorium folder.
One can also directly copy them to one of these locations, and manually edit all the Exec= lines within them to point to wherever you unpacked this Thorium archive; I.E. instead of Exec=./thorium and Exec./thorium_shell I have it set on my machine to Exec=/home/alex/bin/thorium/thorium and Exec=/home/alex/bin/thorium/thorium_shell. Full paths are needed (no ~/ or $HOME)
