browser - Used "%localappdata%\Google\Chrome\User Data" but my bookmarks and extensions disapeared
2014-07
I was trying to solve an annoying problem with THIS WEB PAGE IS NOT AVAILABLE message showing up all the time in my CHROME browser. I followed indeed ALL the forums advises on the issue to no avail. Till I found this procedure at START: to use "%localappdata%\Google\Chrome\User Data", rename the DEFAULT as BACKUPDEFAULT folder,close the directory and see if the problem was solved. Which it was instantly !!! and my browser speed up as never before. But my bookmarks and extensions had dissapeared. Now I don't know how to retrieve my bookmarks, extensions and the rest of the configuration in my browser without coming back to the WEB PAGE IS NOT AVAILABLE disturbance.
Thank you very much indeed for your help,

- Go back to "%localappdata%\Google\Chrome\User Data" and delete the new "Default" profile you made.
- Rename your backed-up profile "BACKUPDEFAULT" back to "Default" (or just copy it).
- Go into Chrome, and export your bookmarks, etc. to a file.
- Close Chrome.
- Go back and repeat what you did before to create a new Default profile.
- Load Chrome again.
- Import the stuff you exported.
As for extensions, I'd just leave them all out and only install them again as you need them. There's a good chance it was one of your extensions that was causing the problems you were seeing, so installing them one at a time as needed will give you a better chance of identifying a potential culprit if it starts acting up again.
I have installed Chrome Lock:
However it keeps crashing all the time.
I wanted to uninstall it, but to my surprise, it is not listed in the Chrome Extensions [chrome://extensions/
] page.
What should I do to fix this (remove Chrome Lock)?
If your extensions are not listed, they can be uninstalled by deleting them. This can be done by finding out where your extensions are installed in your computer. You can find these from your Chrome profile or you can search them manually in your Documents and Settings folder.
