What is a manifest.json file, and where can I find it on my machine?

I assume that it is for chrome. I have read that I can set the permissions in that file to avoid XSS errors while developing.

For the mac it's located here: 

~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Extensions

There are many json files for your chrome experience from Native chrome json files to json files for chrome extensions. Most of them can be found at 

C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\

Most manifest.json files are found for extensions in 

C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions
