User reviews

Users appreciate EditThisCookie2 for its simple interface and effective cookie management functions, including editing and exporting cookies. However, multiple users report issues with the cookie locking feature not working correctly and UI problems with the extension popup growing too large. Additionally, concerns about extensive permissions requested by the add-on raise worries about privacy and security among users.
Pros
  • Simple and clean interface
  • Allows editing, deleting, and adding cookies easily
  • Supports exporting cookies in 'name:value' format
  • Displays cookies quickly within the extension popup without navigating away
Cons
  • Cookie locking feature does not work as expected (e.g., AliExpress can still overwrite locale)
  • The popup window grows excessively long on some systems, making parts inaccessible
  • Concerns about the extensive permissions requested, which some users find excessive and potentially unsafe

Extension safety

Risk impact
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, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

EditThisCookie2 requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. 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 Firefox add-on.

EditThisCookie2 has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
