PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:\\Users\\USER\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data\\Default\\Network\\Cookies'

It seem linked to the way Chrome locks the cookies files (https://github.com/borisbabic/browser_cookie3/issues/180#issuecomment-1587691954), sadly, the command line option --disable-features=LockProfileCookieDatabase does not seem to fix my issue Shadow Copy work around can maybe fix this issue as mentioned in the previous comment. Does anyone have a clue ?
