Where is google chrome local storage saved?

Some websites show local storage being used (in Google Chrome: CTRL+I, resources tab, Local Storage).

For example, StackOverflow has a "login-prefs" key with my default sign-in provider(?). So from what I can tell it is a json object.

Where on my computer would that data be stored (Ubuntu and Windows)? (or is it not stored once the browser is closed?)

Solution

  • Local storage data is stored in your chrome profile(usually Default) under Local Storage %LocalAppData%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Local Storage
