Open Cookie Editor Extension

Open Cookie Editor: A chromium cookie editor you can trust

I don’t trust many extensions which can read/write sensitive data from the browser, so I decided to write my own and opensource the code. The codebase is intentionally small, offering a minimalist cookie editor which can be source-code reviewed in a few minutes.

Some (hopefully) useful features:

- edit/delete all aspects of existing cookies
- create new cookies
- base64 & url encode/decode helpers
- smart search+filter within domain scope


Get it from the extensions store (or just install yourself):

If you’re extra paranoid about supply-chain attacks, review the code here, clone, and install as an unpacked extension locally:

irgend wer (ID: 000000a0a80cc4ee) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 12/18/2022 *Base64* and *Url* decoding feature is very practical. Only thing that is missing '*Export* all visible to JSON' and *import*. However since it's opensource you may do that ya own and then send it via git hub pull request to the author.

Paul Canavan (ID: 000000dca162616d) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/26/2020 Does exactly what's required. Presentation could be better but that's more than made up for by being able to look at the code (and I did). Thank you!
