The only thing different about web browser artifacts on Linux is their location. $HOME/.mozilla/firefox (Firefox) and $HOME/.config/chromium (Chrome) are the usual locations on Linux. Otherwise it's same SQLite databases, etc. Anything else would be crazy in terms of code re-use

The storage locations of user profiles differ between Windows, Mac and Linux. Mac uses the Application Support to store profile information while in Linux the user’s home folder is used. Chrome uses the .config folder whereas Firefox does not.
