Query for File Downloads

Chrome stores file download information in the downloads and downloads_url_chains tables. You can query this information as follows:

SELECT d.target_path AS 'Downloaded File', 
       d.referrer AS 'Download Source', 
       datetime(d.start_time/1000000-11644473600, 'unixepoch', 'localtime') AS 'Download Start Time', 
       datetime(d.end_time/1000000-11644473600, 'unixepoch', 'localtime') AS 'Download End Time'
FROM downloads d
JOIN downloads_url_chains duc ON d.id = duc.id
WHERE duc.url LIKE '%'
ORDER BY d.start_time DESC;

This query retrieves the paths of downloaded files, their download sources, and the start and end times of downloads.

Query for Visiting a Specific Webpage

To find records of visiting a specific webpage in Chrome, use the urls table:

SELECT url, title, 
       datetime(last_visit_time/1000000-11644473600, 'unixepoch', 'localtime') AS 'Last Visit Time'
FROM urls
WHERE url LIKE '%example.com%'
ORDER BY last_visit_time DESC;

Again, replace example.com with the domain or specific page you're investigating. This will return URLs matching the search pattern along with the titles and last visit times, sorted by the most recent visit.
