I use the Chrome history tab when I forget about
something I've looked up in the past. I initially thought that the data would
be stored in a CSV or XML file and thought I could do some string munging for
kicks and giggles. To my delight, when I looked in the "Application Support"
directory for Chrome, I found several data-rich sqlite databases ready for
mining. With a few Ruby tricks, I found some cool data. All the code this article
covers is available on the chrome_spy project.
