I’m reminded of the infamous Dropbox comment. Chrome, for example, shows cookies on a tab (Application) other than Network for a while now. I have 7 cookies set, which should I choose?
The Devil is in the detail, and writing that script is far more work than installing an extension, which is just a convenient form of a script anyway (and one with details taken care of).

- 1vuio0pswjnm7 5y agoYou cant select and copy all five cookies at once in the Applications tab, but you can in the Network tab. Personally I dont rely on Developer Tools, I capture cookies from the wire or from local proxy logs. I monitor traffic to/from my computers and my network, as many HN readers do. I always thought that Dropbox comment was related to people trying to predict successful startups. No one can do that, certainly not HN commenters. Most VC investments are losses. Im an end user. I really dont care for discussion of startups or what makes software popular. Ive never used Dropbox, and I never will.
- brigandish 5y agoThe Dropbox comment is a reference to how quickly devs will say "that's easy, just use X, Y, Z…" I see you've already needed to post another comment to correct yourself, and now you've replied to me with more humps in the road. What next? Kubernetes set up on a Raspberry PI with a transparent proxy that uses a WebAssembly binary knocked up in Rust… Perhaps it would be easier to install the extension and accept that sometimes it's easier to follow the well trodden path. YMMV.
