In-depth safety analysis
This extension requests the cookies permission to read and modify cookies across all websites, along with host access to any URL. It also asks for tabs to see your open tabs, and clipboardRead and clipboardWrite to copy and paste cookie data. For a cookie editor, these capabilities are largely expected—the tool needs broad cookie access to let you view and edit any site’s cookies, and clipboard access is a convenience for sharing cookie values. However, the combination of all-hosts access and clipboard permissions does give it a wide reach, so it’s important to trust the publisher.
Cookie managers are powerful utilities that can expose sensitive session tokens and authentication data. A careful user should only install such tools from a reputable source and review the developer’s privacy claims. While this extension’s declared privacy practices are strong (data not sold, not used for unrelated purposes), the publisher’s identity and maintenance track record are weaker points—the low Maintenance & Ownership score suggests limited update history or unclear ownership, which can be a risk if security issues arise. The community reputation is moderate, with a small number of ratings.
