## Description

**Cookie Cleaner (Cookie Eraser)** is a simple, efficient Chrome extension designed to help you quickly delete browser cookies within a defined time range. Set customized clean periods through the options page and choose which zones—regular websites, protected sites, or extension areas—to clear. It offers two modes: an interactive interface mode for selecting cleaning preferences, and a silent headless mode activated via keyboard shortcut for distraction-free operation.

This extension balances ease of use with advanced customization, making cookie management seamless. For users desiring deeper cleaning, the developer recommends the complementary "eCleaner" extension with additional features. Bug reports and updates are managed openly via GitHub, ensuring ongoing improvements and support.

## Review summary

Users find this add-on simple and fast for deleting cookies without popups, and effective when configured correctly (setting time to 0). However, multiple reviews mention lack of cookie management features like whitelist and viewing cookies before deletion. Default settings are confusing, causing unintentional clearing of all cookies and loss of logins. Some users experience the add-on not working or removing nothing, making usability inconsistent.

- Allows clearing all cookies by setting time option to 0 days

- Works well on certain Firefox versions, including Firefox 58.0.2 on MacBook Pro

### Cons

- No option to view all cookies before deleting
- Confusing default settings leading some users to think it doesn't work
- Clearing all cookies at once causes loss of all logins
- Some users reported it doesn't clean cookies as expected or nothing happens when clicking
