Extensions & Cookies
Add Chrome extensions to your profile and import cookies to bring in an existing session.
Extensions
You can add extensions to a profile from the Chrome Web Store or from a custom extension file.
Add a Chrome Web Store extension to your profile with the following steps:
Copy the Chrome Web Store URL for the extension you want to use.
Paste the URL into the field provided using this format:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/extension-name/idSelect Add to save the extension to your Webstore library.
Custom extensions let you add an unpacked extension folder or a packaged .crx file instead of pulling from the Chrome Web Store via the following steps:
Select Select folder or Select .crx file.
Enter a name. If you choose a folder, the name auto-fills.
Add an optional description.
Select Add.
Find the extension in the Custom library, then add it to the profile.
Custom extensions are only available on paid plans. On the base plan, this tab shows an upgrade prompt instead of the form above.
Once added, extensions appear in the Assigned to this profile list, where you can use Remove selected or Remove all to remove them. All your extensions are also available under Browsers > Extensions, where you can view and manage them across all profiles.
Installed extensions form part of a profile's fingerprint, and may be visible to websites. Always consider whether an extension fits the browser environment the profile is intended to represent before adding it.
Import cookies
Import a saved cookie session into this profile using one of the following formats:
JSON
Standard JSON cookie export, used by extensions such as EditThisCookie and Cookie-Editor.
Netscape
Plain-text cookies.txt format, commonly produced by curl and older export tools.
Base64 JSON
Base64-encoded JSON cookie blob.
Base64 Netscape
Base64-encoded Netscape cookies.txt.
Select the format that matches your source, then paste the cookie data. The Base64 formats are decoded automatically on import.
This page only covers how to import cookies from the Edit profile panel. For more in-depth cookie guides, including exporting, cleaning, converting, and generating cookies, see Cookie management.
