Chrome Blocked My Extension: How to Retrieve Injected Code?

[kevinBurinn]

Hello, Google Chrome just blocked the extension without any warning. The only choice available is to remove the extension...
I would like to recover my injected code. How can I get it back?

Self-reply.

I found my data here:

C:\Users\NAMEUSERS\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Local Extension Settings\edkcmfocepnifkbnbkmlcmegedeikdeb

(Note: edkcmfocepnifkbnbkmlcmegedeikdeb is my extension ID. You can find yours via Chrome's extension list or on the extension's details page.)

Inside this folder, I located the file 000003.log it appears to be a version history log of all recordings.
Your latest backups appear at the VERY BOTTOM of this file when opened in a text editor.

I copied the raw text from the end and used ChatGPT to reformat the JS code, worked perfectly!
