Google Chrome stores internal data such as browser history in a SQLite database; where is this saved to?

Windows Vista or later:

C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\databases

Windows XP: 

C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Application Support\Google\Chrome\Default\databases

Windows 10:

C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\History

Mac OS X (and macOS—sub-path changes between versions but are all under this main path):

~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/*

Linux: 

~/.config/google-chrome/Default/databases

    On Mac OS X (Yosemite) its `~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Profile 1/History` – Kyslik Jun 28 '17 at 08:23
  • @Kyslik, do you happen to know the on for Mac OS (Sierra) ? – Jun Jun 30 '17 at 19:35
  • @Jun I bet its same since it depends on Google Chrome implementation; I will update soon (1-2 weeks) to Sierra, will come back and confirm. – Kyslik Jun 30 '17 at 19:38
  • @Kyslik I found it on another thread. Thanks! ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome//Local Storage/ https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8634058/where-the-sessionstorage-and-localstorage-stored – Jun Jun 30 '17 at 19:42
  • Well I do not see it there in Mac path mentioned! Is it any different for Mac- 13.* version? – Kusum Aug 09 '23 at 17:01
  • @Kusum it's still there. The main databases don't have a db extension (nor any extension). For example, the main history one is now at `/Users/[your_username]/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/History` – Dan Aug 09 '23 at 17:18

Mac

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

Here are they are organized by URL for every site you have accessed, except for Datbases.db and Datbases.db-hournal
