I recently learned that you can make many apps such as browsers portable on a USB drive and I was wondering, aside from being able to take it on the go, what other advantages does portable apps have? I know it won't take up much storage. Is there any privacy benefits?

I've only seen it used to play games on school / public computers. The game runs from the USB, since the user doesn't have permission to install software on the computer's harddrive.
