Where to find extensions installed folder for Google Chrome on Mac?
I can not find them under ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/; Where are they?
- Mac Pro 10.8.4
- Chrome Version 26.0.1410.65
Solution 1:
The default locations of Chrome's profile directory are defined at http://www.chromium.org/user-experience/user-data-directory. For Chrome on Mac, it's
~/Library/Application\ Support/Google/Chrome/Default
The actual location can be different, by setting the --user-data-dir=path/to/directory
flag.
If only one user is registered in Chrome, look in the Default/Extensions
subdirectory. Otherwise, look in the <profile user name>/Extensions
directory.
If that didn't help, you can always do a custom search.
-
Go to
chrome://extensions/
, and find out the ID of an extension (32 lowercase letters) (if not done already, activate "Developer mode" first). Open the terminal, cd to the directory which is most likely a parent of your Chrome profile (if unsure, try
~
then/
).-
Run
find . -type d -iname "<EXTENSION ID HERE>"
, for example:find . -type d -iname jifpbeccnghkjeaalbbjmodiffmgedin

Solution 2:
You can find all Chrome extensions in below location.
/Users/{mac_user}/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Extensions
Solution 3:
For Mac EI caption/Mac Sierra, Chrome extension folders were located at
/Users/$USER/Library/Application\ Support/Google/Chrome/Profile*/Extensions/
