User reviews

Many users appreciate Flag Cookies for its utility in managing cookies with download managers like JDownloader and its generally smooth interface. However, a large number of reviewers report that the extension drastically slows down browsers by consuming excessive CPU resources and causing lag, especially after recent updates. There are also concerns about unsolicited installs, intrusive notifications, and occasional functional issues with cookie exporting. Users often recommend disabling or uninstalling the extension due to these performance and usability drawbacks.

Pros

Useful for working with certain download software like JDownloader.
Has a good interface and smoothness as noted by some users.
Effectively exports cookies which is helpful for certain use cases like Google Drive integration with JDownloader.

Cons

Significantly slows down browser performance, causing tabs and websites to load sluggishly or lag.
Consumes excessive CPU resources, resulting in freezing or near unusable browsing experience especially after recent updates.
Sometimes causes issues with cookie detection and export functionality, requiring manual reloads and workarounds.
Installs or activates without explicit user consent, leading some to consider it bloatware or malicious.
Sends frequent and intrusive notifications prompting for reviews or updates, which annoy users.

This made my browser slow as hell for a whole week, and only at the end of that week by deleting extensions one by one, I realized that this was the extension making my browsing experience atrocious.

Slows down browser to a crawl. I thought it was my browser not using hardware acceleration properly but no it was this pos. Do not use.

Veith Servius, 2025-03-29

This extension seriously slows down the browser, I recommend using others (especially for jdownloader) or disabling it immediately after use.
