Therefore, I like to use different user home directories for myself for each environment and copy or symlink directories that I can share without compatibility quirks. I would like to be able to have ALL data related to google-chrome accessible in both systems. I have dozens of user-data-dir's for various things I work on, each with their own stored passwords, cookies, etc. Based on some google searches, I thought I could copy everything I needed between the two home directories by copying the user-data-dir directories and the .config/google-chrome directory, but my stored passwords do not transfer. Does anybody know how I can get everything I need (and nothing I don't need) from one home directory and put it in another to get google-chrome (or chromium-browser) to just work on a dual boot system with isolated home directories for the same user?</div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I believe that the passwords are stored in an sqlite db .config/google-chrome/Default/Login Data so at first sight that aught to work. However I wonder whether there is protection in the encryption technique to prevent it working if you copy it somewhere else.
