I want to write a simple program which shows my internet activity over a period of time (which site I visited, how many times and so on). I mostly use Google Chrome browser. I found out Chrome stores browser history at this location - C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default (please correct me if I'm wrong). How can I open the history files? They don't have any file extension. I could not open using notepad, SQLite browser. How do I access this data programmatically? I want to know which file format it is and how to read it using a programming language like C#.

I know Safari uses Binary PLists for its history (and SQLite for its cache). Is it possible that Chrome is doing the same?

It is just a SQlite 3 database, I was able to open it successfully (though of course you can't open a locked database of a running browser).
