If anyone is able to help me with identifying how to decode this payload, it would be greatly appreciated. I thought at first it was base64, which came back as gibberish bytes.

any more info where this is from?

it looks like encrypted file / blob to me.
if you have more info like key used to encrypt/etc it'll be helpful.

or how did u get that from the first place.
need all info.

It appears to be base64, but decoding it doesn't seem to match any recognized character encoding, including binary.

What it is: An AES-256-GCM encrypted blob from a Chromium-based browser (like Chrome or Edge).

What you need to decrypt it:

Local State file from the source machine.

Master Key extracted from that file using Windows DPAPI (requires the original user's Windows session).

The Reality: Without the Master Key from the original system, this code is impossible to crack. It’s just useless binary noise.
so good luck
