Export Cookies

Export cookies to a Netscape format cookies.txt file.

Export Cookies is a Chrome extension that enables you to save your browser cookies in the widely used Netscape cookies.txt format. It adds a convenient button allowing users to export cookies for the current host, the entire domain, or all domains at once. An optional feature lets you include a special #HttpOnly_ prefix for HttpOnly cookies, enhancing compatibility with various applications. This extension simplifies managing and sharing cookie data, especially when using tools that require the Netscape cookie format.

User reviews

Users find the Export Cookies add-on generally effective for exporting cookies, especially from individual sites and all domains. However, multiple users report issues with container tabs, incomplete exports, and a lack of an import feature. The UI also poses challenges with the export button being hard to locate on dark toolbars. Despite these, it is appreciated for compatibility with tools like yt-dlp and exporting cookies from third-party content.
Pros
  • Works well for exporting cookies from individual sites when on the correct URL.
  • Capable of exporting cookies from all domains at once, including third-party content.
  • Useful for exporting cookies compatible with tools like yt-dlp.
Cons
  • Does not work properly with container tabs, requiring workarounds like using private windows.
  • Poor visibility of the export button icon on dark toolbars, making it hard to find.
  • Exports cookies in a text format that some users find suboptimal.
  • Lacks an import feature or guidance on how to use exported cookie files.
  • Sometimes exports incomplete or empty cookie files, not reflecting actual stored cookies.

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.

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