Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

export-chrome-profile

Export your Chrome profile as a zip file — interactively and securely.

This tool is designed to help developers, AI agents, and browser automation engines (like Puppeteer/Playwright) securely move browser profiles between environments (e.g., from your local machine to a cloud sandbox).

NPM Version License

Quick Start

No installation required. Just run:

npx export-chrome-profile

Features

  • Zero Config: Automatically discovers Chrome profiles (Default, Profile 1, etc.) on your machine.
  • Interactive Prompts: Easily select which profile to export.
  • Selective Export: Choose exactly what data to include (Cookies, History, Bookmarks, Extensions, Local Storage).
  • Auto-Optimization: Automatically excludes massive regenerable cache directories (GPUCache, Service Worker/CacheStorage, etc.) to keep your zip file small. (e.g., A 300MB profile becomes an ~11MB zip).
  • Secure by Default (AES-256): Easily password-protect your zip output so your sensitive cookies and session tokens never sit unencrypted on disk.

Usage

Running the command will launch an interactive wizard:

  export-chrome-profile
  ─────────────────────────

✔ Which Chrome profile do you want to export? Default
✔ What data do you want to include in the export? Cookies, History, Bookmarks, Extensions, Local & Session Storage
✔ Do you want to secure the zip file with a password? Yes
✔ Enter the zip password: [hidden]
  Estimated final export size: ~11.4 MB

✔ Ready to proceed with export? Yes
✔ Success — 10.8 MB

  Saved to: /path/to/your/chrome-profile-2026-02-25T14-46-43.zip
  File is encrypted. Do not forget your password!

Advanced Usage

If you prefer to skip the interactive wizard, you can pass arguments directly:

# Export the Default profile to a specific location
npx export-chrome-profile --profile "Default" --output ~/Desktop/my-profile.zip

# Export a specific named profile
npx export-chrome-profile --profile "Profile 2"

Supported Platforms

  • [x] macOS (~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/)
  • [ ] Windows (Coming soon)
  • [ ] Linux (Coming soon)

Privacy & Security

Browser profiles contain highly sensitive information including active session cookies, local storage tokens, and browsing history.

This tool runs 100% locally. No data is ever sent to any servers. The resulting .zip file is created directly on your machine. We strongly recommend using the built-in password encryption feature if you intend to move the resulting zip file across a network.
