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 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.
Google chrome store the local storage data on the following location:
\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Local Storage\leveldb\006911.log
I use: windows 10
