I have a number of certificate details and CRLs stored under ~.gnupg/ Additionally, mozilla certificates are stored in the ~/.mozilla/firefox/xx.default/ directory, but I think that these are only used by mozilla apps, not Chromium. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

IP address, system user name, something else? Just a hunch but have you signed into Chromium with your google account ? Google has this feature/anti-feature (based on your outlook) where it syncs bookmarks, history among other things with their servers so you have access to it on all your computers where you've signed into Chromium. - - Yohan Pereira The difference between a Miracle and a Fact is exactly the difference between a mermaid and a seal. -- Mark Twain
