Extension summary

Exports your cookies to the Netscape cookie file format a.k.a. cookies.txt which is compatible with wget, curl, youtube-dl and more.

The Netscape cookie file format stores one cookie per physical line in the file with a bunch of associated meta data, each field separated with TAB. That file is called the cookiejar in curl terminology. The cookie file format is text based and stores one cookie per line. Lines that start with # are treated as comments.

This extension can be super useful in circumstances of using the authenticated cookies from your Chrome browsing session.

The cookies can be exported by clicking on the 'blue' download button or by clicking on 'Get cookies.txt' in the Chrome context menu on any website.

User reviews

It's stealing your cookies from all sites!

This extension is now malware. Every time you load a webpage it will send your cookies for that site to the developer. They will be able to access all your accounts using your existing sessions without logging in. If you have this extension installed, remove it immediately. Then go to every website you may be signed into and click sign out. That will end the sessions that have been compromised. After that, go back and change all of your passwords.
