Where Does Mojeek Store Settings?

Where Mojeek keeps settings in browsers, cookie local with no account by design. Exact folders are covered below.

Last updated

Mojeek is independent search without accounts. Preferences, focus, and region live in browser cookies and local storage per profile.

New devices start default. For keeps, screenshot custom settings before moves. Exact cookie names shift with releases. Clearing site data resets search to defaults with no cloud restore. Treat search setup as manual on every profile, since sync chains rarely carry these prefs reliably. Check the in app storage readout when sizes look wrong on different releases. When in doubt, verify paths inside the app before trusting a remembered folder.

Frequently asked questions

How do I move Mojeek settings to a new browser?

Mojeek settings live in browser cookies and local storage per profile without an account. Open preferences and note focus, theme, and region, then re enter on the new browser. There is no login to sign into, so manual setup is the only path.
