Where Does Otter Browser Store Profiles and Settings?
Otter keeps profiles, sessions, and otter.conf in ~/.config/otter on Linux and AppData on Windows.
Last updated
Otter follows Qt conventions. Linux profiles live under ~/.config/otter, with sessions, bookmarks, and history databases beside otter.conf. Windows mirrors that tree under AppData Roaming Otter.
Back up the whole folder to keep sessions and speed dial. The cache beside it is disposable and rebuilds itself. Portable zips keep the same layout next to the binary, so check there first on USB installs before hunting AppData.
Where Otter Browser stores this, by platform
C:\Users\[You]\AppData\Roaming\Otter\Otter
otter.conf plus profile databases. Copy the folder with Otter closed. Cache subfolders can be skipped to shrink the backup.
~/.config/otter
Profiles, sessions, and settings in one tree. Exact db names shift between releases, so copy the folder rather than cherry picking files.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Otter sessions?
Close Otter and copy the full profile folder for your OS. Sessions restore on next launch. Keep the backup version matched to the Otter release you run.
Where is the Otter cache?
Beside the profile data under cache paths. Clearing it fixes stale pages and stuck assets without touching bookmarks or sessions. Skip it in backups to save space.
