Google chrome local storage on mac

Question

I am working with local storage techniques on a website that I'm building, so far with great success because I cant see the popup again. Where is the folder that contains the local storage and within that folder what name should I be looking for? Something specific to the name I called it in javascript?

Answer 1

Chrome currently stores local storage data under the path:

~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/$PROFILE/Local Storage

where $PROFILE is either Default if you have not logged into a profile, or something along the lines of Profile 1 if you have.

Note that there is one file per site, not per stored value, and the files are SQLite databases. You will not be able to read their contents in a text editor.

If all you want to do is view the contents of local storage, you may want to consider instead using an extension along the lines of Storage Area Explorer .
