As the question says, where do each of the browsers store their offline data, be it cache, offline storage from html5, images, flash videos or anything web related that gets stored locally.

Firefox store the offline data in ~/.mozilla
directory, to be more specific in ~/.mozilla/profiles/xxxxxxxx.default
directory.
Chrome uses ~/.cache/google-chrome
directory for storing cache. Google chrome also uses ~/.config/google-chrome/Default
directory for storing recent history, tabs and other things.
Like Chrome, Chromium uses as such with only the name changed. That is ~/.cache/chromium
and ~/.config/chromium/Default

1I found some Chromium files in
/etc/chromium
. I believe they are related to LastPass.– anonFeb 7, 2014 at 2:09 -
Yes, you are right. But I found the Chrome stored its cache files into these places, but you can't export them, because they are in a kind of secret format. How can we export and list those files? Dec 4, 2019 at 17:03
I've just found that the flatpak chromium uses
~/.var/app/org.chromium.Chromium/cache
On Firefox I use the browser.cache.disk.parent_directory "preference" in about:config to get it to use somewhere that's not backed up, to reduce backup sizes.
