Where Google Chrome keeps its logs

Google Chrome logs to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\chrome_debug.log on Windows.

Google Chrome logs to ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/chrome_debug.log on macOS.

Google Chrome logs to ~/.config/google-chrome/chrome_debug.log on Linux.

Paths are printed exactly as Google Chrome writes them. Environment variables like %LOCALAPPDATA% and $XDG_STATE_HOME are never expanded, so a path can be pasted straight into a shell. Where a path differs between installer types or shipping flavours, each one is racked as its own card below - why that happens.
