manipulate them into doing what?

manipulate them into doing what?

Websites store cookies in the browser, there are browser extensions to edit the local cookies stored by all websites.

Some websites have trackers inside the cookies, firefox on pc literally has Cookie protection

By having the ability to modify stored cookies, we would be able to see everything, like when facebook, youtube, google store trackers in the cookies, we would be able to see the trackers.

[uazo]

we would be able to see the trackers.

seeing is not editing though. the request to display a “state” of the browser is already in https://github.com/uazo/cromite/issues/323

I still don't understand what the point of modifying a cookie would be.

Not that I think my comment will make any difference, but if modifying means also injecting/importing, then I've read that there are shared logins and whatnot as cookies, never used such tho and I can see why the OP would want something like this being natively built-in/implemented, now that Manifest v3 is a thing and such Extensions probably won't work anymore, unless I'm wrong.

I think you're almost correct on everything, just to note.

When a user enters a website, the website ask you to accept cookies, some websites let you manage what to accept, overall the cookies will end up saved in the browser.

So a cookie manager, Basically shows every cookie that's been saved in the browser, and every nasty cookies that track us.

For example i'm logged in a google account, and google send 5 cookies to the browser.

First one is the cookie that keeps me logged into google.

Second one is a cookie to identify or track me.

That second cookie is a permanent string that tracks me, unless i clear all cookies from google, but that will log my account out of google, unless i can just remove the string of cookie that tracks me, but google will generate a new tracker if i remove the existing one.

Cookies are used if i agree to some sites, that i want Personalized ads basically some random article will send cookies to facebook telling facebook that i read about cats in their article, and facebook will show ads about cats being on sales.

And we did consent to these by blindly clicking i agree to these cookies popup.
