User reviews summary
These summaries are automatically generated weekly using AI based on recent user reviews. Firefox Browser Add-ons does not verify user reviews, so some user reviews may be inaccurate, spammy, or outdated.
Pros
  • The add-on allows users to export cookies which can be used with download tools like yt-dlp for downloading videos.
  • Users have found it to work flawlessly, including with container cookies, and have been using it without issue for a long time.
  • It is recommended by yt-dlp especially for downloading videos from YouTube channels with memberships.
Cons
  • For some users, the add-on doesn't work as nothing happens after selecting the export option.
  • One user complained about the add-on converting HttpOnly cookies into comments which led to debugging issues.
  • Another con is that the add-on doesn't handle container cookies selectively and tries to export cookies from all containers, which can be problematic.
Most mentioned
  • Useful for integrating with video download tools like yt-dlp.
  • The add-on sometimes doesn't function as intended or doesn't trigger the export when expected.
  • Lacks the functionality to schedule exports automatically, which would be convenient for regular use.

2023-12-01 Walter Gruen Spent heaps of time debugging my script because of this add-on. What kind of idea is to convert HttpOnly cookies to comment lines? ExportCookies https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/export-cookies-txt/ is so much better

2023-08-13 Sin Works flawlessly including container cookies. Used for a couple of years now without issue. I just wish I could schedule an export every 24 hours.
