The profile file is stored in:

~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default

/Library/Preferences/<application name>/

~/Library/Preferences/<application name>/

/Library/Application Support/<application name>/

~/Library/Application Support/<application name>/͏͏͏͏

/Library/<application name>/
