When using chrome.storage.local.set() in a Chrome extension, it seems now in 2023 that the data is being stored in .log files under %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Local Extension Settings\<extension-id>\ with the FULL HISTORY of old data as well as the new one.
How do you extract only the currently saved data from those .log files? Is there a system in place?
This question has been asked a dozen times before but none of them are up-to-date with how the storage is located on disk in the latest Chrome versions.
Would love an answer from Kalman, who wrote the storage API :)
For reference, this is how the file
000003.loglooks like at my end:I've been testing by repeatedly removing and adding the same data over time, and almost the full history of addition and deletion is stored in this file. I only want the data that's currently existing as chrome storage, and I need to know how to extract it from this file for backup and reading purposes.
