Here, as always, there could be another blah blah blah, but today it won’t be. Briefly about the main thing: I encountered a problem transferring saved SpeedDial bookmarks from Windows 7 to Windows 8.
Transferring extensions between windows.
You will say that synchronization would help here, but SpeedDial does not store all your bookmarks in the cloud (and this is in vain), but directly on the local disk.
Everything turned out to be quite simple, you just had to look for the path to the extensions.
IN Windows 7 it looks like this.
C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions\
IN Windows XP
C:\Documents and Settings\Usver\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chromee\User Data\Default\Extensions\
Everything is in the folder installed extensions, but with interesting partisan names. Therefore, for simplicity, you can simply copy the folder Extensions fully. But with SpeedDial, it turned out to be not so simple. This extension stores its data somewhere else and I just copied the folder User Data.
Transferring extensions from windows to linux.
We take everything we need from windows (you can see it a little higher) and drag it along the next path.
~/.config/google-chrome/
An option for sissies.
Go to Tools -> Extensions, click on the “Developer Mode” checkbox and then click on the “Pack extensions...” button and enter the full path indicated above. And on the recipient system, go again to extensions and click “Load unpacked extension...” and select the file.
If you transfer the entire User Data folder, then everything will be transferred, including open tabs, bookmarks, etc.

Undoubtedly, it is the most popular web browser. This is due to its cross-platform, multifunctionality, wide possibilities settings and customization, as well as support for the largest (compared to competitors) number of extensions (add-ons). It is precisely where the latter are located that will be discussed in this article.
The question of where extensions are located in Chrome may be of interest to users. various reasons, but above all this is required to view and manage them. Below we will talk about how to go to add-ons directly through the browser menu, as well as where the directory with them is stored on the disk.
Web browser menu extensions
Initially, the icons of all add-ons installed in the browser are displayed to the right of the search bar. By clicking on this icon, you can access the settings of a specific add-on and controls (if provided).
If desired or necessary, icons can be hidden, for example, so as not to clutter up the minimalist toolbar. The section itself with all the added components is hidden in the menu.
Here you can not only view all installed extensions, but also enable or disable them, remove them, and view additional information. For this purpose, corresponding buttons, icons and links are provided. It is also possible to go to the add-on page in the Google Chrome web store.
Folder on disk
Browser add-ons, like any program, write their files to the computer's disk, and they are all stored in one directory. Our task is to find her. In this case, you need to start from the version of the operating system installed on your PC. In addition, to get to the folder you are looking for, you will need to enable the display of hidden items.
- Go to the root of the system drive. In our case it is C:\.
- On the toolbar "Conductor" go to the tab "View", click on the button "Options" and select "Change folder and search options".
- In the dialog box that appears, also go to the tab "View", scroll through the list "Additional parameters" to the very end and place a marker opposite the item "Show hidden files, folders and drives".
- Click "Apply" And "OK" at the bottom of the dialog box to close it.
Now you can proceed to search for the directory in which the extensions installed in Google Chrome are stored. So, in Windows 7 and 10 versions you will need to go to the following path:
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions
C:\ is the drive letter on which it is installed. operating system and the browser itself (default), in your case it may be different. Instead of "Username" you need to insert your name account. Folder "Users", indicated in the example path above, in Russian-language editions of the OS is called "Users". If you don't know your account name, you can look it up in this directory.
In Windows XP, the path to a similar folder will look like this:
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Data\Profile\Default\Extensions
Additionally: If you go back a step (to the Default folder), you can see other directories for browser add-ons. IN "Extension Rules" And "Extension State" user-specified rules and settings of these software components are stored.
Unfortunately, the names of the extension folders consist of an arbitrary set of letters (they are also displayed during the process of downloading and installing them in the web browser). You can only understand where and what add-on is located by looking at its icon and examining the contents of the subfolders.
Conclusion
This is how you can easily find out where the extensions are Google browser Chrome. If you need to view them, configure them and access controls, you should refer to the program menu. If you need to access the files directly, simply go to the appropriate directory on system disk your PC or laptop.
