How to export content in Chrome's local storage for a website

Original idea is from this post

  1. Open a tab and navigate to the website where you have content to export.

  2. Open devtools and switch to the console tab.

  3. Copy and paste the following snippet in the console and Chrome should ask you to save the output file

var obj = JSON.stringify(localStorage, null, 4)
var vLink = document.createElement('a')
vBlob = new Blob([obj], {type: "octet/stream"})
vUrl = window.webkitURL.createObjectURL(vBlob);
vLink.setAttribute('href', vUrl);
vLink.setAttribute('download', vUrl.split('/')[2] + '-export.json'); // give you the website name + "export.json"
vLink.click();
  1. Profit!
