If you run into any issues or glitches with the extension, please feel free to reach out to me via email.

Sometimes, a simple email doesn't provide enough information for me to fully understand and address the issues you've reported. To help me assist you better, please include the console error messages in your email by following these steps:

Have you ever felt your browser slowing down over time? One of the reasons could be those little data nuggets known as cookies. Many sites set cookies that won’t expire for decades, quietly accumulating as you surf the web. This buildup can easily reach tens of thousands. Even that website you dropped by just once, several months ago, likely left a few cookies lingering in your browser.

To boost the performance of Google Chrome or Opera, try using EditThisCookie to shorten the lifespan of cookies. This simple tweak ensures that all those websites you've visited in the past don't bog down your browsing speed. Here's how you can do it:

To safeguard your cookie, simply press "Set as readonly."

Safeguarding a cookie means the website that originally set it can no longer alter its values. To review or modify your list of protected cookies, simply head to the extension’s options and select “Protected cookies.”

Blocking cookies can be incredibly beneficial. It helps safeguard your privacy, can alter how your browser interacts with certain sites, and offers a unique tool for web developers to test their work. If you decide to block a cookie, simply hit the “Block cookie” button, then select the parameters for blocking.

Importing cookies is a breeze! Just click on "Import cookies," paste the cookies you want to add in JSON format, and hit "Submit cookie changes." If you need a reference for the accepted JSON format, try exporting some cookies and take a look at the text you get. Sharing cookies between different computers, testing websites, or keeping backups becomes so much easier this way. To export, simply click "Export cookies," and the cookies from the current page will be copied to your clipboard, ready to be pasted into a file, email, or wherever you need them. Plus, in the extension's options, you can choose the format you prefer for exporting. Several formats are available to fit your needs.

Here, we've laid out a table that captures every detail of what makes each cookie unique.

When you click on the cookie icon, you'll uncover any cookies stored by your browser for the current tab. Choose the cookie you'd like to modify by selecting its name from the list. Adjust the values as needed, then hit the "Submit cookie changes" button. It's that simple!

Still unsure about what a cookie is? Check out this video.

Here are three impactful ways you can make the most of this extension:

• The cookie icon on the upper right of this window.
• Right-click on any page. This is especially helpful to do copy-paste of multiple values before submitting changes.
• BETA: Only for Google Chrome. From the DevTools, choose the tab named “EditThisCookie”. Please note that the DevTools panel is in beta, you might experience bugs or unexpected behaviors. If you don’t know how to open the DevTools check the official guide.

Experience the ease of EditThisCookie with Google Chrome or Opera. Installing it is as simple as any other extension. Once you're set up, dive into our next tutorial: "Open the Extension," or explore our "What is a Cookie" guide for beginners.
