Ask HN: How to View Site's Cookies?

1 points by jarreed0 · 3 comments · 1 min read


Sorry if this is a dumb question. Maybe I'm just totally misremembering it.

I swear that on both chromium based browsers and Firefox that you use to be able to view and edit cookies by pressing a button near the URL at the top while on the page. This doesn't seem to be an option anymore. I can see the cookie count in their and can redirect myself to the settings page (which doesn't seem to show the individual cookies either).

How can I quickly access a site's cookies? Thanks!

"Web developer tools" is what you're looking for, both built-in on Chrome and Firefox.

Firefox it's CMD-option-i then select the storage tab.

I brave and edge you can click the padlock icon next to the url and see the cookies
