Finding Videos in Chrome's Cache

How to find cached videos in Chrome and download them
- Under
C:\Users\Dongfang\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Pepper Data\Shockwave Flashyou’ll find.tmpfiles — copy one and change the extension (the cache is deleted once you close the video page) - Press F12, or right-click and choose “Inspect” to open DevTools — you’ll find the video URL under Network; download it with any download tool (you can also see the file extension there)
- Or use a browser extension — I used
FVD Video Downloader
