Where does Google Chrome for Linux store user specific data?
Where does Google Chrome for Linux store user specific data such as bookmarks ?
I can't find a .chrome
or .google
directory under my home directory, any other directory I should look at ?
Solution 1:
I think it stores in ~/.config/google-chrome
or ~/.config/chromium
. Though i have it inside the first location!
Check for the Default
folder under this location, more specifically.
Solution 2:
It is usually in ~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Bookmarks
, where "Default" is its way of dealing with usernames and different possible sessions. However, it could also be in ~/.config/chromium/Default/Bookmarks
.
Solution 3:
I couldn't find at all on internet where the chromium data folder is supposed to be. I found some locations like ~/.config/google-chrome
or ~/.config/chromium
but that wasn't it for me.
I couldn't find this in the settings either... But I found a way:
- On your chrome/chromium go to
chrome://extensions
in the URL bar - Pick any extension (or the one you're trying to find)
- Then copy the extension id from one of those locations
- Open a terminal and run
find ~/ -type d -name "id-of-the-extension-here"
In my case it was in ~/snap/chromium/common/chromium/Default/Extensions/
