YOU SAVED MY LIFE, TYSM <3
by Seweryn, 2024-10-15

Stopped properly working at least a few weeks ago. Seems like manually cleaning website data does clean localstorage and whatever else (because I have to re-enable push notifications and change some site settings), but doesn't log me off. Fx 129 x64

I downloaded this for the claimed ability to import cookies. After wasting extensive amounts of time trying to figure out how, and reading numerous reviews, it appears this function doesn't exist any more. There is not even the 'editor' option claimed. I have no editor. Either I'm doing something stupid or this extension doesn't do what it claims! If, indeed, there is a way to import cookies then it's been well hidden. I'd be willing to revise this review (if this extension does do what it says on the can and someone can point me to how to do it). Update: I've revised my rating from a one star to three star following the developer's response below (thank you). I've now been able to find the import function. I've not upgraded it to a 5 for two reasons: 1) The documentation is not great. How to access the import function should have been available in the "Help" and 2) Even with the developer's message below it took me a while to figure out because he doesn't seem to have taken into account that not everybody has every extension on their toolbar! I don't have any and so I was opening the extension to try and find the import function and the option just wasn't there. When he says, "click the Cookiebro extension icon" what he means is "Add the Cookiebro extension to your TOOLBAR and then click on it"
