copying all chrome config data to different user

[Gilles Gravier]

Maybe looking at it from a slightly different perspective, have you tried
using chrome's account sync? I don't think it syncs things like cookies and
cache... But just about everything else (including account logins and
passwords).

That said... cookies/cache. If you make a backup every now and then... by
the time you need to restore it, cache is probably outdated, and most of
the session cookies as well, so not necessarily an issue.
