Macos – Can’t find the Google Chrome User Data Directory in Mac OSX Lion

google-chromemacososx lion

I need to increase the font in my Inspect Element window in Chrome.

I found a tutorial on how to do it: http://k20e.com/blog/2011/08/18/how-to-set-the-chrome-console-font/.

According to the Chrome website, the User Data directory should be ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default, but I don't see "Google" under "Application Support".

Does anyone know where else the User Data directory could be?

My Chrome is up to date (version 23.0.1271.101). Running on OS X 10.7.4 Lion.

Best Answer

Home/Library is a hidden folder on recent (10.7+) releases of OSX.

To get to the correct folder, do this:

  • Open a new Finder window
  • Press CommandShiftG
  • Type in ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default

You are now in your profile directory. Click on the directory named User StyleSheets, and edit Custom.css to your heart's content!
