Chrome/chromium keeps it's settings hidden in the .config directory in home. You can unhide it by pressing CTRL+h in nautilus file manager.

The file you're looking for is in:

google chrome:

~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Preferences

chromium:

~/.config/chromium/Default/Preferences

    I want to force Chrome fonts to be consistent on every site I visit. The Chrome preferences don't affect this at all.

    I found this link which states which webkit settings to edit to accomplish this, but where are the preferences stored on linux?

    Thank you for the very concise answer. Sadly, changing these preferences did not help at all. They change headings and titles on things like the Chrome console (ctrl+shift+j) but not much else. I think if I replace the Arial font on my machine with something nice it should do the trick.

    For Chromium 100.0.4896.88 flatpak on linux, I found the preferences in: ~/.var/app/org.chromium.Chromium/config/chromium/Profile 1/Preferences
