Google Chrome Dictionary Location

Question

I'm trying to find the dictionary file for Google Chrome on OS X - I'd like to remove certain words from the dictionary so that I don't use them when writing email (such as 'foolish' for example).

In Firefox, this was a simply a matter of editing the dictionary file, but I'm not sure were I would find it in Chrome?

Answer 1

It doesn't appear that there is a user-editable file with the default dictionary in it. I just looked through the .app folder and saw nothing like a dictionary. Also, ~/Library/Application\ Support/Google/Chrome/Dictionaries/ doesn't list any dictionaries.

OS X

The file is for the custom dictionary:

/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Custom Dictionary.txt

Windows XP and Windows 7/Vista

It appears it's in (for Windows XP and Vista/7, respectively):

C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Custom Dictionary.txt
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Custom Dictionary.txt
