Since browser games by necessity keep their saves in the browser's local storage (or in the cookies if they're older), the only way would be to backup and restore your entire browser profile between machines, which is probably not what you want since it also includes bookmarks, saved passwords and whatnot.

There's a lot of files in the-
C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default

Could you tell me which one do I backup?

No idea, sorry. That's why I said you most likely have to backup and restore your entire browser profile. Short of asking the tech support at Google, I'm not sure where you can get a better answer.

I try hard and find it , thank you!

Backup the "Local Storage".

It's the game saves.

C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Local Storage

I removed the link from your post. That game is not hosted on itch.io and we really can’t help you. You should contact the creator of that game if you need help.
