Cookie-Editor Chrome extension

Cookie-Editor gives you a simple panel to view, add, edit, and delete cookies for the site you're currently on, without leaving the tab. It's best for developers and testers who need quick cookie access. The catch: it's a technical tool, so it's less useful if you just want to clear cookies occasionally.

What Cookie-Editor does

Cookie-Editor shows the cookies set by the site in your current tab and lets you create, edit, delete, or search them from a small panel opened via the toolbar icon. It's built for quick, direct cookie access without needing to open browser developer tools.

Who uses Cookie-Editor

It's mainly useful for developers and testers who need to check or change cookie values while debugging a site, such as testing session states or authentication flows. General users who just want to clear cookies occasionally may find their browser's built-in privacy settings simpler.

Is Cookie-Editor safe?

To view and modify cookies, the extension needs access to site data for the tab you're using it on, which is required for its core function. The developer discloses that it does not collect or use your data, and the extension is scoped to cookie management rather than broader page content.
