## Description

Cookiebro is a powerful Chrome extension designed to manage, filter, and block browser cookies efficiently to protect your online privacy. It offers configurable automatic deletion of unwanted cookies periodically, supports whitelisting and blacklisting of domains and individual cookies with wildcard support, and provides an intuitive interface for easy management.

Key features include protection of session cookies to prevent accidental logouts, options to drop tracking HTTP headers like ETag and Link, automatic clearing of indexedDB, localStorage, and pluginData at browser startup, and a detailed Cookie Editor to view, edit, create, delete, search, import, and export cookies.

## Review summary

Users consistently praise Cookiebro’s powerful, granular cookie controls (blacklist and cookie log). Repeated complaints are that it breaks in recent Firefox versions, lacks updates/dev response, and has hard-to-find or confusing import/editor features. Some report performance or site-breakage issues when cleaning storage.

### Pros

- Powerful and useful cookie management — many users praise its per-cookie control, blacklisting and overall effectiveness.
- Cookie Log and blacklist features are valued for easy, granular control of cookies.
- Works across some other browsers/devices (several users note it functions well in Waterfox and on Android).

### Cons

- Stops working or loses features in recent Firefox releases (auto-delete and related behaviors reported broken by multiple users).
- Appears abandoned / rarely updated and developer is unresponsive — several reviews cite no updates since 2021.
- Import/editor functionality is hard to find or use; documentation is poor and the editor UX is confusing for some users.
- Performance and site-impact issues: users report UI refresh delays, startup hangs, and problems when auto-deleting indexedDB/localStorage that can break pages or settings.
