Elliot B. Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I'm talking bookmarks, cookies, passwords etc. Not so much cache files. e.g. I use MozBackup for Firefox. Is there an ideal equivalent for Chrome? I know some data is storage in "the cloud", but is all of the above? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Xinok Subscriber² Posted June 19, 2013 Subscriber² Share Posted June 19, 2013 Press Win+R on your keyboard to open the Run dialog and type: %appdata% Look in there for a "Chrome" or "Google" folder. If it exists, then that's most likely where all of your browser data is stored, excluding temporary/cache files. I don't have Chrome installed on my PC, but rather have a portable version, so I don't know for certain where that browser stores its data. Of course, a simple Google search 10 seconds later proves me wrong: http://ellisweb.net/2008/09/where-does-google-chrome-store-user-history-profile-and-bookmarks/ Backup the folder (mentioned in the link), restore it afterwards, and Chrome will be just as it was. dysgenics and Elliot B. 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Singh400 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Sync that ###### mate, dead simple. All my settings follow me wherever I go now. Including Chrome settings, bookmarks and custom search engines. Very handy. Elliot B. 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Zlip792 MVC Posted June 20, 2013 MVC Share Posted June 20, 2013 Does it also sync cookies? (logins for websites etc.) I sync my main desktop Chromium with laptop Chrome and they sync flawlessly, I log out from one side and I already log out from another, same bookmarks both side. Only difference is New Tab Pages thumbnails which I think does not matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xendrome Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Does it also sync cookies? (logins for websites etc.) It does not do that.It will sync your saved username/passwords and forms though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
