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.

Safety

Risk impact

Get cookies.txt requires a lot of risky permissions and is not safe to use. Avoid installing this extension unless you absolutely trust this publisher.

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypass your security settings, and access your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Risk likelihood

Get cookies.txt is very likely to contain malware and should not be trusted. Avoid installing.

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension, especially ones with higher risk impact and/or higher risk likelihood.

It's stealing your cookies from all sites!

Michał “Foxbond” Chraniuk, 2023-03-06

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.
