Extension summary
This extension exports cookies.txt in Netscape or JSON format. The Netscape cookies.txt format is compatible with wget, curl, MozillaCookieJar(Python3), and more.
Rest assured that this extension never transmits your information externally. It features an open-source, unobfuscated source code that is readily available for inspection on GitHub or in the extension's installation directory.
⚠️ Caution
If you are using Google Chrome < 119, it may not be able to read some cookies with partition keys, because of a bug in the cookies API and partition key.
To function correctly, this extension requires certain permissions, all of which are listed in the source code for transparency. Specifically, it now needs "Download management" to execute a more appropriate file export method, which was previously achieved through "link generation and automatic clicking" in versions before v0.3.x.
