Google Chrome analysis


Google Chrome is a web browser and is the default browser on Nexus and many other devices. Chrome data on the device is somewhat unique, in that, it contains data not just from the device, but from all devices on which the user has logged in to Chrome. This means that it is entirely possible (even very likely) that data from the user browsing on their desktop computer will be found in the databases on their phone. However, this also leads to huge amounts of data for an examiner to sort through, but that's a good problem to have.

Package name: com.android.chrome

Version: 40.0.2214.89
