Chrome Browser (Form History) by Chrome Browser
The 'Web Data' SQLite database contains data related to auto-completion of web forms. e.g. address information and maybe credit card details if the user was silly enough to allow their browser to store all this.

WEB DATA file format details:

The file format, which is the arrangement and type of data in a file, determines which program can open the file. The initial characters of a file are called signature, sometimes also referred to as "magic bytes". The signature can be used to infer the file format.

When there is a problem with a file, the first step to solving it is to determine the file format. Our evaluation of the WEB DATA files looks like this:

60% of all WEB DATA files are based on the well-known SQL file format. An SQL file contains a lightweight SQLite database, widely used in application development for storing application related data. If you open these files in a text editor, you will see only illegible characters. The files are on average 98 KB in size and range from 61 KB to 650 KB. The file type is relatively new. Certain words are almost always found in the files, such as SQLite format 3. A usual file name is WebData..
