User Reviews
The add-on generally works as advertised and aids cookie-related tasks, including exporting cookies. However, a dominant recurring issue is excessive memory usage (memory leaks), sometimes accompanied by high CPU use, particularly with many tabs or long sessions. This memory problem is the most consistently mentioned drawback across reviews. Pros
- Does what it claims and works as advertised
- Useful for cookie-related tasks, including exporting cookies to clipboard in JSON (e.g., for login sessions)
Cons
- High memory usage / memory leaks, especially with many tabs or Reddit sessions
Recent reviews
The extension works, but currently leaks memory on Reddit tabs like there's no tomorrow.

This extension does what it says it does, and if you use it for a one-time use and then remove it no issue. The issue is that if you decide to keep the extension it will use up all of your memory! It has some sort of leak or lack of optimization that causes it to slow my 32GB DDR5 machine to a crawl. Without this extension only 6GB of use, with this extension all of it can be used!

Is Flag Cookies Safe?
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.
Flag Cookies requires a lot of sensitive permissions. 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 Add-ons Store, 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.
Flag Cookies is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
