Inexperienced at Python, trying to recover my passwords. I need help

[lildogi]

Hey, so I recently deleted my chrome's cache and history using a browser extension but apparently that deleted my passwords too and they weren't synced to my google account. Fortunately using a program called Shadow Explorer I was able to have a copy of the User Data folder prior to deletion. Now from my basic understanding the Local State file should be in JSON format. However when I try to open it using notepad its just blank (even though there seems to be a file size of 50KB). And opening it with visual studio shows weird characters. What should I do ? I would appreciate any help.
