### Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

### Describe the Bug

Google Chrome Portable is the portable version of Chrome, but it’s not detected by Cursor.

### Steps to Reproduce

1. Self extract [Google Chrome Portable 64-bit](https://portableapps.com/apps/internet/google-chrome-portable-64).
2. Click [`+ Browser`](https://forum.cursor.com/t/can-you-explain-browser-vs-browser-vs-the-beta-option-cursor-browser/137603) in the chat:  
 ![+ Browser](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/3X/6/9/69423adb79461ac83d4c4975999448d770d3c580.png "+ Browser")
3. Browser isn’t detected:

### Expected Behavior

If browser isn’t detected, it should let me enter a manual path, just like Cursor lets me do it for Python.

### Operating System

Windows 10/11
