Google-chrome – Where does Google Chrome save LocalStorage from Extensions

google-chromelocal-storage

I just had to format my Windows 7 system and start over, I made some backups of certain files/folders though and I am trying to find out where Google Chrome stores users data that extensions save, like which folder(s) I could look in to maybe recover some data for a certain extension I had?

Looks like it's %LocalAppData%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Local Storage.

Google Chrome – Where Are Temporary Files Stored?

On Windows this is Google Chrome cache folder:

C:\Users\<user-name>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cache

However:

Google Chrome cache technique is defensive!

Although you could use YouTube downloader program or manually retrieve the YouTube video direct download link to keep a copy of the video for your mom who only like to watch them on the classic TV + player set, you might need to use non-Google Chrome web browsers to retrieve the FLV files on some less popular video hosting sites, via the web browser cache folder technique.

Open Settings and there "On startup", "open the tabs that were open last time".

Works for me, ie. recovers the tabs also in case of a program crash.
