Cookie Editor not working on Chrome

Open Rourke101 opened this issue 4 years ago • 4 comments

I have just installed Cookie Editor from: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cookie-editor/hlkenndednhfkekhgcdicdfddnkalmdm?hl=en

In any page, no matter which one, I get the message: This page does not have any cookies Which is false, as I can see them through the WDTools

If I try to add a cookie, I get a black bubble saying: No host permissions for cookies at url: "https://www.google.com/search?.....".

Permissions-wide I have nothing special in my Windows computer, I am running an administrator.

I suppose it has something to do with this line: "permissions": [ "cookies", "\u003Call_urls>", "tabs", "storage" ],

I found the issue: I only allow extensions to work when I click on them. This way I prevent some security risks. However, the extension does not work when I had this option enabled. It only works when the extension can "read and change site data" on ALL sites. I think this is quite dangerous.

Would it be possible to adapt the extension so it acts on demand, i.e. when it is clicked?

I'll look into it, thanks for reporting and investigating this issue

Hello, I use the Cookie-editor extension as an alternative login method for my collaborators, on many pages they can enter correctly, but there are some platforms that simply do not allow entry through cookies. Is there any way to correct that problem? In some of those error pages, the login via cookies is correct, but then it just doesn't work. Thanks in advance.

I believe adding the permission "activeTab" might fix this. It might even be possible that I can remove the "<all_urls>" permission with that change. That would greatly improve the security. I will experiment with this.

@laboradite I'm sorry, this is not editthiscookie. This is the Cookie-Editor extension. You should give it a try.

While the next version still won't support the "on click" permission only, there should be significant improvement. Permission will be able to be granted on a per site basis.

There will also be special permission handling in the interface, so you should no longer see "No Cookie" when the reason is missing permissions. Instead, you will see some buttons that will allow you to grand permissions to the current page only.

A new permission system is in place in version 1.12.0! This version is slowly rolling out for all browsers.

This should allow you to only set access on some site for Cookie-Editor. Since this is the first version of this permission system, there might be some quirks. Please let me know in a new bug if you have any issues and I will fix them as soon as possible.
