Yuriy Shatrov (ID: 0000003901abdecc) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 09/28/2020 Unusable. Each time you switch tab, the dialog disappears and every field is cleared. E.g. You need to fill a value from clipboard. You have to fill domain (another question why can't it just be pre-filled from the page?). You copy the domain and paste it into the form. Now the value disappears from clipboard. You switch to another app, tab... the dialog with the pasted domain is gone. Purged.

Jeff K (ID: 0000002e792bdcfe) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 06/02/2018 Not working. On Remove tab using 'Select Cookies' does nothing. Tried 3 times. I have over 5,000 cookies I'm trying to clean up so maybe too many for this extension to handle. Too bad, looked promising.

Jas L (ID: 000000eee38a4b43) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/01/2016 Easy to understand and efficient. Nice having something that can convert into session cookies automatically. Secure without having the hassle to log in again when i accidentally clear my cookies.
