Did chrome change its cookies database location to Network folder - google-chrome

While looking for the Cookies database in chrome profile I didn't find it under the Default folder so I searched for it and found it in a subfolder named Network. My chrome version is 96 and it was in the Default folder before so did chrome change its cookies path recently ?

Can't View FTP Directory in Google Chrome

I just upgraded to Google Chrome v73.0.3683.103 and I am now unable to view FTP sites in Chrome. Instead of Chrome loading the FTP directory listing in the browser, it downloads a file named download which contains a directory listing.
How do I get the ability to view the FTP directories directly in Chrome back?
I have tried going into Internet Options > Advanced and clicking on the "Enable FTP folder view (outside of Internet Explorer)" but, that didn't seem to do the trick.
In-browser FTP was deprecated back in v72. I hadn't updated Chrome in a few releases. I have rolled back to v71 until I find a better workflow substitute

Installing Chrome Extension via ExtensionInstallForcelist without Chrome Web Store

I try to auto-install a chrome extension on a WIN10 device that have no connection to the internet and thus can not access the Chrome Web Store. So uploading the extension to the CWS is no option. The extension exists as a crx file on a server in a network and on the device.
On Chrome Versions 59 and lower I could install the extension via settings in the registry. When Chrome was started, the user was ask if he wants to install the extension.
For this I used the registry key ExtensionInstallWhitelist and defined the path and version of the extension under the key "[...]/Google/Chrome/Extensions/[ExtensionID]".
But since Version 60 the extension does not appear in Chrome anymore. So I tried to auto-install the extension via an Active Directory domain policy.
I have imported the chrome policy templates and configured the entry ExtensionInstallForcelist (http://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3#ExtensionInstallForcelist) in the group policy editor. This policy setting is listed on the chrome://policy page in Chrome. But the extension does not appear in Chrome. The ExtensionInstallForcelist entry contains "[ExtensionID];[url where the crx file resides]". I also tested this with an url to an "Update Manifest XML document" which points to the crx file. Neither of them worked.
Does anyone know, if Chrome 60+ still supports this?
Is my configuration incorrect?
Any help will be appreciated, thanks!

Can't find installed manifest.json for chrome extension

I am trying to find my Chrome extension's App ID so that I can get User Authentication. I have installed my extension and when I go to chrome://extensions/ I can see the ID:
However, in the Developer's Dashboard, the url is showing a different App ID:
I know that I somehow have to sync them so that they are the same. The Google tutorial for getting user authentication says that I should go to the user data directory to find my installed extension and copy the key from the manifest there to the manifest in my source directory. However, I can't find my extension in the user data directory under google-chrome/Default/Extensions.
your manifest will always be at: chrome-extension://myId/manifest.json
When you create an extension on the store, Google will pick a random id and assign it to your extension.
When you install an extension(from your computer to your computer) to chrome, your computer will assign it an id.
Only once in a billion lifetimes will those two be the same.
always use the id you see in the chrome://extensions page to find the manifest.

How to download chrome extension (readable files) from developer dashboard

I have uploaded a chrome extension on webstore but lost the local from my desktop. Is there any way to download the extension back either from webstore or developer dashboard such that I get all my files?
Just install it and then go to your User Data directory.....
http://www.chromium.org/user-experience/user-data-directory
..then into the directory of the profile you installed it under, then the extensions directory and then the directory with the key of your extension, then the directory with the latest version and youll find all your files. You can find the key listed on the extension page in chrome in developer mode. Dont forget to edit the manifest, remove the update url and such.
Or if your on windows (I know it works in XP, never tested vista/7) you can use my convenience tool ExtensionOpener.....
