How to get all chrome content settings?

Google Chrome does not sync all content settings, specifically Cookie rules. Meanwhile JavaScript settings sync fine.

I'm trying to query the list of all cookie blocking domains so I can sync them using my own storage through an extension. Wildcard patterns only work if TLD is specified.

chrome.contentSettings.cookies.get({
    primaryUrl: 'https://example.com' //---Not working '<all_urls>' or 'https://*/*"'
}, function (details) {
    console.log(details)
});

Could I possibly query chrome://settings/content/cookies as a web page directly from an extension? Any other ideas?

Documentation for Chrome content settings seems to support '<all_urls>' but it only works on 'set' not 'get'.

You need to specify the primaryUrl with a value like http://* or https://* or http://somesite.com/ etc., and you then get the details.setting

Also note the delay I use before accessing the info at the end of the function below.

 function GetContentSettings(){

 var S='';

 chrome.contentSettings.cookies.get({primaryUrl:'http://*'},function(details){S+='Cookies : '+details.setting+'<br>';});
 chrome.contentSettings.images.get({primaryUrl:'http://*'},function(details){S+='Images : '+details.setting+'<br>';});
 chrome.contentSettings.javascript.get({primaryUrl:'http://*'},function(details){S+='JavaScript : '+details.setting+'<br>';});
 chrome.contentSettings.location.get({primaryUrl:'http://*'},function(details){S+='Location : '+details.setting+'<br>';});
 chrome.contentSettings.plugins.get({primaryUrl:'http://*'},function(details){S+='Plugins : '+details.setting+'<br>';});
 chrome.contentSettings.popups.get({primaryUrl:'http://*'},function(details){S+='Popups : '+details.setting+'<br>';});
 chrome.contentSettings.notifications.get({primaryUrl:'http://*'},function(details){S+='Notifications : '+details.setting+'<br>';});
 // chrome.contentSettings.fullscreen.get({primaryUrl:'http://*'},function(details){S+='Full Screen : '+details.setting+'<br>';});
 // chrome.contentSettings.mouselock.get({primaryUrl:'http://*'},function(details){S+='Mouse Lock : '+details.setting+'<br>';});
 chrome.contentSettings.microphone.get({primaryUrl:'http://*'},function(details){S+='Microphone : '+details.setting+'<br>';});
 chrome.contentSettings.camera.get({primaryUrl:'http://*'},function(details){S+='Camera : '+details.setting+'<br>';});
 chrome.contentSettings.unsandboxedPlugins.get({primaryUrl:'http://*'},function(details){S+='Unsandboxed Plugins : '+details.setting+'<br>';});
 chrome.contentSettings.automaticDownloads.get({primaryUrl:'http://*'},function(details){S+='Automatic Downloads : '+details.setting+'<br>';});

 setTimeout(function(){alert('Content Settings...<br><br>'+S);},1500);
 }

NB: I've commented out the two troublesome ones.
