Which browsers and devices does Cookie-Editor support?
Cookie-Editor runs on most major desktop browsers and on two mobile platforms. On desktop, it supports Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Microsoft Edge, Opera, and other Chromium-based browsers such as Vivaldi. On mobile, it is available for Firefox on Android and Safari on iOS, with an interface optimized for touchscreens. You install it the same way as any other browser extension or add-on.
Desktop browser support
Cookie-Editor is distributed as a browser extension/add-on, so it works wherever that browser's extension system allows it.
| Browser | Supported |
|---|---|
| Google Chrome | Yes |
| Firefox | Yes |
| Safari | Yes |
| Microsoft Edge | Yes |
| Opera | Yes |
| Other Chromium-based browsers (e.g., Vivaldi) | Yes |
Because it also covers Chromium-based browsers generally, any browser built on Chromium can run it in the same way Chrome does.
Mobile support
Two mobile browsers are supported:
- Firefox for Android
- Safari on iOS
Both use an interface optimized for touchscreens, so you can manage cookies directly on a phone or tablet rather than only on a desktop.
How to install it
- Open the extension or add-on store for your browser (for example, the Chrome Web Store, Firefox Add-ons, or the Edge Add-ons store), or use the install link on the Cookie-Editor website.
- Add Cookie-Editor to the browser.
- Open it from your toolbar or from your browser's DevTools to view and manage cookies for the current tab.
The extension is described as simple, secure, and open-source, and its source code is available on GitHub (moustachauve/cookie-editor).
What you can do once it's installed
Cookie-Editor is focused on managing cookies with as few clicks as possible. For the current page you can:
- View a list of all cookies
- Create a new cookie
- Edit an existing cookie
- Delete one or all cookies
- Export and import cookies (including copying them to your clipboard)
The site says you can view, create, modify, or delete a cookie in a maximum of three clicks, and that the tool suits development, software quality assurance testing, SEO work, and manual cookie management for privacy.
