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?)

Local storage data in Google Chrome is stored on your computer and persists even after the browser is closed. Here's where you can find it on both Ubuntu and Windows:

Ubuntu

  1. Path: ~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Local Storage

  2. Alternate Path (if using Chromium instead of Chrome): ~/.config/chromium/Default/Local Storage

Windows

  1. Path: C:\Users<YourUsername>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Local Storage

  2. Alternate Path (for Chromium): C:\Users<YourUsername>\AppData\Local\Chromium\User Data\Default\Local Storage

In these directories, you will find .localstorage and .localstorage-journal files which store the local storage data for various websites you visit.

The exact path, regardless of the OS you are working on, can be found by typing chrome://version in the search bar. In the Profile Path section, you can see the exact profile. For example, in my case it says /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Profile 2

Then, if you want local storage set by extensions, append Local Extension Settings/<extension_id>. The extension_id can be found by typing chrome://extensions/ in the search bar, and in the tile describing your extension, you can see the id. That is, /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Profile 2/Local Extension Settings/<extension_id> in my case.

If you want the general cookies of the browser, append Local Storage/leveldb to the path. That is, /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Profile 2/Local Storage/leveldb in my case.

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

There are two types of storage, key-value pairs are stored in a sqlite database and file are stored in your profile. This can change in future Chrome versions.
